I don't know about a wealth counselor, but get a therapist. So many people, especially founders, would benefit from talking to a professional.

Honestly, I'm surprised that there aren't a few therapists who work exclusively with founders - I'd honestly love to see a VC firm with a therapist on staff for its founders.

This is amazing. Great way to illustrate. What software did you use?
Any lawyers, or perhaps better legislative experts, that can tell us how the constitution plays here?
USDC does seem better, but the last attestation is from April and there are reports that they've been running late a while [1]. That's not as bad as the competition but still seems very bad, given that stability is what they do? Especially since they haven't explained what happened as far as I can tell.

On the other hand, it looks like USDC's market cap doubled in less than two months, so I guess that's good for them?

> the US, Japan, Canada, GB, AUS, the EU need to band together to counter China’s egregious rights abuses

Countries living in glass houses cannot throw stones on others. Moreover each country has it's own flaws, so before asking others to correct each one of them needs to correct themselves (like those countries ruling establishment in China enjoy majority support and minority like in any system democratic or communist or authoritarian is suppressed or prosecuted). All these system needs to change in which minority are protected from tyranny of majority.

> They could all offer residency programs for the bright students

Agree with you they should also include every prosecuted community in the world in this program not just Hong Kong. Indeed program should be wide open to prosecuted minority from any country not just China. The bastion of democracy can demonstrate it in action not words, to really change the status quo.

I don't hold my breathe for it, given most democracy also works on majoritarian politics it will be hard given national self-interests trumps humanity.
I don't really get why your mental model is bothered more by the function/stack frame than the comment.

Whether I read a function name or comment personally that does pre occupy my mind and sets the mental frame for what comes next. If the comment or function name say doX() or //this does X then I expect it to do that but need to be on the lookout for whether it actually does that.

With a function though I can easily step out if this part turns out not to be interesting, I can easily step over it next round if debugging, I don't need to keep track of where //this does X ends etc.

Of course none of these help if the previous author was really bad at what they were trying to communicate. They can both implement doY() in a function called doX() and have //do Y code run in with //do X for example by interleaving statements for both. If we assume we'll intentioned authors for both though, I would tend to see more pros for structuring code with functions than via comments.
What raids are you referring to?
Yup. Which itself is the same as the weed playbook.

Anyone with more than six brain cells saw this coming a mile away. It was only a matter of time until a red state gave the feds the bird on an issue like this.

Frankly I'm surprised nobody did this sooner.
Fascinating post. I'm personally optimistic on interviewing.io - it's both more useful for candidates (interview practice) and stronger signal for recruiting companies, but this is such a difficult market to break into for reasons Aline describes well.
Hong Kong is dead, and the CCP killed it.

Daily reminder that the Chinese Government should never ever be trusted.

China agreed not to touch Hong Kong's system politically or economically until at least 2047.

They couldn't manage even half of that, and there are now many Hong Kongers sitting in jail for the "crime" of supporting democracy in Hong Kong (not even China!), which was made illegal by the CCP under "national security" laws.

Fun source for "in BASIC" ?
This sounds perfectly reasonable in isolated examples, but I find maintaining large applications written in this style to be a nightmare. Once you get to non-trivial examples you'll have a lot of variable being passed around (what are we adding the scrollbar too) and stepping through a million little functions to see which components are interacting and how.

The first example might need a comment, but everything I need to know is right there in one place and not distributed across the codebase.

>Not everyone believes in the legitimacy of the state, let alone that the legal system is somehow the proper authority for evaluation of disambigous source code.

This is something that I haven't been able to figure out about blockchain enthusiasts. Assuming the blockchain is wildly successful, it poses an inherent threat to the ability of the modern state to collect taxes. Why do blockchain enthusiasts, who already don't think the state is legitimate, not take the logical next step. A potentially existential threat illegitimate parties that have large militaries will end well for the blockchain how? To put it more glibly, how many divisions has bitcoin?
Actually as I re-read this article a second time, it is really one sided in favor of Gun control. Is there a better article that at least tries to be impartial?

There is a sixty-year tradition now of pieces for instrumentalists + tape or live electronics, where it is the synthesized material that is spatialized through loudspeakers around the audience.
"open source" in 1995 was very different to how it is now. There was GNU stuff and the Linux kernel and not a lot else. Now it's a zillion different dev environments and whatnot, but buying commercial tools for software development was far more common then than it is now.
I'm not a lawyer or a legislative expert, but the article answers the question.

> The U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause essentially says federal law is supreme over state law. And the preemption doctrine means that "valid federal law will always displace a state law, even a state constitutional provision that is inconsistent with that federal law," Vladeck says.
I thought that was a good apology and I hope that it gives Matthew closure and a peaceful heart over this whole thing.

I have been, as an outsider, a fan of the Racket ecosystem. I hope that this ends up making a stronger community. I certainly enjoyed RacketCon this year.
This article article gives a nice view inside the thinking of the very, very rich, also known as the ruling class or the capitalists.

The question is, if you have a society where wealth=power, why not have a stable concentration of both ruling? The alternative doesn't seem to be a broad-based democracy but a relentless fight of millionaire against millionaire where the majority is even powerless.
I wonder how much of personality is genetic and largely out of the control of the person. I know mine is. I have two separate anxiety mutations - basically high functioning autism. I often find myself accidentally offending people. I preemptively cancelled myself as a precaution long ago.

It seems society has decided that some traits are innate and deserving of understanding and others are not.
With respect, I disagree. I think public apologies, when a perceived insult occurred in public, are much stronger.
I apologize for mischaracterizing your experience. I am sorry.

Think about this. You intentionally left out the very verbose parts of actually doing those things for us to see what your UI looks like on an abstract level here on HN. You basically only gave us the comments and left out the 49 lines of actual code needed in between for each ...

With methods extracted you could do the exact same but on actual code and help your future self that forgot all about this class or some other poor developer that has never seen this UI or the code before.
Nit: It’s not that /usr/bin/python3 gets replaced. It’s always a stub, but the stub execs the real python3 if found.
It does use magnetic confinement. That central column is part of it. Then it adds the compression.

I met Richard Stallman’s lawyer several years ago, having made an appointment with him to discuss our open source framework, Qbix.

Eben Moglen had a nice office near Lincoln Center in NYC. Somehow on the way to the office, he had taken a look at our site and mistook something on it... by the time I arrived, he spent the entire time yelling at me and berating whatever he could find out about me. A very strange character.

Having said that, he did help me find out what I was after: how to make sure large corporations wouldn’t use my open source code while smaller ones could — we should use Affero GPL.

So, all in all it was a productive meeting. But still, it was pretty surreal.

Apparently he has done it with other people too: https://observer.com/2011/12/in-which-eben-moglen-like-legit...

There is more to this. A couple years prior he had encouraged four NYU students to start Diaspora, a similar project to ours...
I'm confident you will be there for him in the future too.
I just stopped fighting it. I read slow because I say the words in my head.
> There must be some incentive to create a system that lowers these false negatives.

I’m generally quite pro immigration but when BigTech goes to DC and bellyaches about how they need higher quotas because they can’t find enough workers it really sticks in my craw.

Reminds me a bit of the classic example of chutzpah—-the boy who killed his parents, then threw himself on the mercy of the courts, asking for leniency because he was an orphan.
Spoiler: Finally can't.
I'm pretty sure that we already know that the constitution is meaningless as shown from the Snowden leaks... so the US Gov. will fight it if they think they can win.
Do hardware wallets support that? Seems like they create a single key and then derive a key for each coin from that (hopefully well!). In effect, there are two keys that control each coin: the one for the coin and the device one that derives it and others.
The general consensus is that it's a terrible idea to rely on Uniswap (or any other dex) as a price oracle for valuation/pricing for other on-chain defi applications/dexes. With enough capital (which can be acquired through flash loans) you can absolutely perform economic attacks though atomic transaction chains involving moving the dex price. Uniswap, Kyber, and others will tell you the same thing. This makes me think that even things like DAI/MakerDAO (and anything that relies oracles like Chainlink) can start to get brittle when/if the major price discovery and liquidity are on Dexes.

This has been seen in practice, for example in the Fulcrum hack:

Then it sounds like you're not really getting my point.

VR as is today is a new tech. The Quest 2 is a recent release, second model of a new lineup. Xbox 360 was released in 2005 so look at xbox sales in like, 2006 instead. Which… checks numbers, hey look, 4 million units.
That's....not your fault.

There should have been a label on the computer near the keyboard jack written by the people who knew about the problem.

If you didnt make a label afterwards yourself, the next keyboard-based outage would be your fault :)
Very intriguing. Metamaterials which will help phone cams and other compact devices. I wonder if the NSA had this in space for years? (The sat based cams had huge optics, launch size matters)
Why should it always be the candidate's problem to reduced that risk and not the companies?

That time would not be "wasted" if the company had done due diligence on what the position and candidate were "worth" and revealed their target (or target range) to the candidate.

The real reason, I'm sure, is that companies think they hold the upper hand in the negotiation. And a lot of time with a lot of candidates that's true. It's clearly _not_ true for the class of candidate who's realistically got a $300k+ target. You are totally not going to successfully headhunt anyone in the top 1% or 5% of FAANG engineers if you try to dick them around with recruiting power imbalance power plays. _They_ don't need your bullshit. They will totally walk away from whatever time you've "wasted" so far trying to recruit them. You need them _way_ more than they need you.

(And I'm pretty sure that generalises a lot further down the experience/renumeration food chain than most devs realise. Fresh grads or devs with only a few years of experience might need to play the stupid recruiter games, but most companies trying to fill a mid level or senior role need the right candidates way more than those candidates need any one specific job. You can and should be able and willing to walk away from any potential job offer over stupid games like this...)
> Many companies now do include pay information specific to Colorado on remote job postings. A listing for a software development engineer on a “work-from-anywhere” team at Amazon.com Inc., for instance, notes that the range for the position in Colorado is $116,400 to $160,000 a year, but overall compensation could vary. Amazon’s listing cites Colorado’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act as its reason for including the compensation information.

Stating just the base salary range but not the total compensation seems like an underhanded way to "comply" with the law.
My company had a bug that did this and Yahoo throttled mail from our server into uselessness for weeks.
Isn't that also the pedagogical philosophy of Terence Fletcher? Just kidding, of course.
The title has already been amended once and now reads “ Amazon Appstore will reduce its developer revenue cut” which is an improvement on the original, but it should say “Amazon Appstore will reduce its cut of developer revenue” As it is, it’s still unclear whose cut is being reduced.
Maybe find another doctor?

The couple that referred me to my primary care doctor likes our doctor because it's very quick for them to renew their ADHD prescriptions.

BTW, I once tried 30 mg of Adderall and I felt like I would go crazy if I took it every day. I took it at 6:00 a.m. and I had heart palpitations, euphoria, and crazy insomnia past midnight. It's not really something that's as safe as coffee for the average person.
You can try windicss https://windicss.org/

This is tailwind but on steroids. The author was frustrated with slow speed so he started the project. Windicss by default only generate css for classes or attributes you are using. This is equivalent to tailwind jit.
“essentially says” doesn’t quite cut it for me. Thank you for pointing that out but im deeply suspicious of the article and bias. So I’m hoping there is someone outside of the article, perhaps with less conflict, to also weigh in.
> What if you were truly immortal, wouldn't you be driven mad soon enough?

Driven mad by sunshine in nature, good friends, good food, exploration, good books and other media, working towards a goal, and meeting new people?

Quality of life is the biggest determinant, and modern society being planned around aging and death is the second in the idea that people would not enjoy immortality. Of course deathly ill people would not enjoy immortality; people already sign DNR orders today to mitigate that lack of quality of life. Healthy people of any age generally enjoy life.

So you are saying that you can tune SMR drives to behave like CMR with sysctl settings?

But QNAp / Synology won't do that? May be because WD was mixing SMR and CMR drives with the same product code, so consumers didn't know which drives they are getting in the first place and that's why the lawsuit.

A title "making" something? A title can't make anything! That is just not logical.
That is some fault-tolerant spaghetti code!
My main solution is to use good function and variable names.

Including - and I had some resistance to this - breaking out a variable or function solely to give something a name that needs describing.

This way you have one source of truth. It can be wrong, but you only update it once, and it never conflicts with itself.

I understand what you mean by "function and variable names are comments". We do use them to describe what the code does. Still, they are actually code :)

A killer feature for me would be the ability to load geo PDFs as a layer so I can overlay MVUM maps with more traditional street maps.
For General Fusion, about the only part exposed would be the central column, which I suspect they'll design to be easily replaced; pull out from the top and drop in a new one. Aside from that, the burning plasma is just surrounded by liquid lead/lithium.

MIT's Commonwealth uses an inner wall that's 3D-printed and designed to be replaced annually. They've tested joints in their superconducting tape, which will let them open up the coils on hinges so they can drop in a new inner wall. They'll surround that with liquid beryllium/lithium as coolant and breeding blanket.
Japan is one.
But people do brag about it on Blind such that the compensation bands are well known. People also complain about cliffs when it turns out the company didn't want to pay them at a certain level.
I think like any new technology, there will be an extremely limited number of early-adopters, who figure things out, and then through social-osmosis, help others. It's not until at least the second generation that things really start to pick up. I suspect, had tablets and smart phones not really taken off in the last 5 years (which is a global miracle that should be further examined, although the devices are locked down pretty hard) this netbook program would probably have been all the more impressive. It's hard to look at a 7 year old, dumpy netbook and think it was a good idea, but at the time this was lightyears ahead of what was available to the general public, and put computers in a lot of families hands, that might not otherwise, have used one.
Don't transition unless you're able to budget for a software QA contractor.
Wait, so... Where's the money going to come from? Unemployed engineers wanting to find work?

Also, are we sure there is a shortage of engineers, or simply a shortage of engineers that can pass the hiring interviews and qualifications?

I think a lot of companies don't always mind waiting to find someone who passes there test, be it a newer grad, or an existing engineers that has now prepped up better.
The federal courts have consistently found that states do not have the right to override federal law. States certainly can make it difficult for federal officers to operate. The federal government certainly can make it difficult for state governments to meet their budget needs by withholding the passing to a state almost any federal monies they desire.
> Hong Kong (not even China!)

Hong Kong is China since 1997 with same nationality law that's the reason its called one country and two systems. Obviously the thin layer between two system is getting thinner, because like any law, basic law can be interpreted to suite the needs of how the two systems should be.

I believe all of this is happening given China does not want to be another USSR. Hong Kong was used as a launch pad to do the same and ruling establishment learning from the past actions in cold war between US and USSR cracked down heavily using the interpretation of basic law to suite their needs. It was inevitable, just the time-line shortened due to the kind of chaos Hong Kong went through with violent protests.

That engineer should absolutely point out that despite the mistake, he just created the most engaging newsletter email ever in defiance of modern marketing practices. The real cosmic brain strategy is to run with this somehow and turn it into something like those guerrilla marketing campaigns.
I think more in terms of judgement than behavior. Judgement is a better topic of conversation.
Ah.
I hadn’t thought of that.

So putting aside Plank and all the experimental stuff, even on a philosophical level there are problems with thinking of space as continuous. For, that with which we measure space is necessarily discrete and the time-frames in which we measure are necessarily finite. So, even if space was continuous, two ‘states’ that are infinitesimally similar could for ALL practical purposes be considered identical.

Is that it?
What is a "helicopter router" (helicopter routing?)? That's the first time I've heard that term and it sounds interesting.
Almost, but I'd say it feels a lot more like that time Ubuntu decided that they hated their desktop users - and really wanted some of that tablet-device-only-good-for-advertisement-consumption hotness. Unity was just plain awful.
Understandably, most of us have been there. I know I’ve been a cog in motion in an instance just like this. Suits were more mad than any customer was (I heard nothing about it from customers).

Luckily, it’s just a simple textual email.

It’s a learning experience - and most notably - an obvious pointer to the fact that there’s some protections/documentation/processes that can be added to prevent this.
As has been pointed out by others, there already exist databases that annotate many key metabolic pathways; however, I think the reason the database you describe doesn't exist is that there's a LOT more very customized work in recreating synthetic pathways in cells. Minimally, as you say, you'll produce plasmids that code for all the proteins you need. In practice, factors affecting your design decisions include, but are not limited to:

* What your ultimate goals are (proof of concept versus lab/industrial-scale synthesis)

* Your synthetic vehicle, i.e. in which organism you will be recreating this pathway

* Whether the relevant pathway/genes already exist in some form in your vehicle, and may be affected by an introduction of foreign genes

* How you will detect expression of your foreign proteins (the fact that your genes are expressed doesn't mean the corresponding proteins are produced, and if you can't confirm protein expression, the inevitable troubleshooting will be five kinds of hell)

* What kinds of promoters you'll need to drive gene expression

* How stable the proteins in this pathway are, and if you need to modify them to increase stability

* Whether your proteins, after being produced, need extra tweaks (post-translational modifications, in the parlance) in order to work

* How much DNA you'll need

* How you'll deliver the DNA, i.e. what size/kind of delivery vector

* How you'll make the delivery vector

* Whether your proteins will fold properly once produced in the vehicle, and whether they will localize to the right parts of the cell

* Whether your proteins are toxic to your vehicle cell

*etc.
