>Not even close, where are you getting that from?

Seriously? I'm not gonna do your work for you but look up reforestation efforts, ozone hole closing, re-population of once devastated animals, pollution etc. I mean you'd have to be completely ignorant or purposely seeking a specific agenda to miss this stuff. Are you suggesting nothing has improved in the last 50 years and we're on a continuous decline?

>US car culture is the first thing I’d put on the chopping block. The US military and billionaires as a class are the two highest polluting entities on the planet. Lots of additional gains to be had there.

What? This such a lame political response devoid of any better alternatives. Show us numbers and propose an alternative that's better.

Please show us the sources that billionaires and the US military are the highest polluting entities on the planet. That's obvious bs propaganda.

>I wonder if all the men who have lowered sperm counts agree with you…

Your measure for whether we're doing better than the past is sperm count? Huh?

You seem to be suffering from something recently coined progressophobia. I get there are problems but this strange denialism and refusal to admit we've progressed at all is not only wrong, it's harmful to society as a whole.
I kind of hit a similar problem: My parents let me stay at their house while they were on vacation and I was traveling through their city, as long as I locked up and set their alarm when I left.

Me, being unused to how their alarm worked, was unsure if I set it.

I set the alarm, locked the door, hear it beep, waited outside until it stopped beeping, then I thought to myself "was the alarm really on?". I unlocked the door, opened it, setting off the alarm, which I turned off with my code.

Goto 10

This repeated a few times until some larger alarm somewhere else in the house started blaring loudly that could probably be heard across the neighborhood. So I disabled it one more time, and just left it well enough alone since I couldn't get out of the loop without some other way of verifying things.
Ask HN: Recommendations for Tech Print Magazines?
So these days I find myself spending some necessary time off the internet quite a bit at home, mostly because no matter how much I try, I always end up spending too much time in forums and comments sections on internet articles. It would be nice to still have magazines to read without the hullabaloo of opinionated comments, trolls and arguments.

Are there still any good print magazines covering tech that I could subscribe to? Which ones would you recommend?
> Just let add me add a simple non relational table where I can have row and column headers.

Could you explain more what you mean by this? Or give an example of some software that behaves like what you're describing?
I used to work with someone who had that same problem with door locks, he'd sometimes leave work to make sure he locked his door. This was well before the days of ubiquitous web based home security cameras, but he rigged up a video camera and a video capture card on his PC to take a picture of the door (and door lock) and post it on a web page every minute. So he could easily check to verify that the door was closed and locked.

Nowadays, maybe an electronic lock would be an easier solution, though I'm not sure that would satisfy the urge to be sure it was locked, would he trust it?
It absolutely can be. It just is not in this case. They were not merely "acting like racists". I hope this distinction helps.
lock-free ring buffers still have locks for the case when they are full, so it would be interesting to see how the kernel behaves when you never read from the completion ring.
Have a Herman Miller in the office, got myself a https://www.autonomous.ai/?lang=en-US&quickview=ergonomic-co... for home use. At the 3 month mark I can say I love the Ergo Chair Core more and will definitely recommend since its not as expensive as HM, but comfortable enough.
Plenty of doctors do explain all of this, but people hear what they want: did the doc affirm or contest my theory? Did they "do anything"? (recommend surgery, prescription, diet, etc)
I don't know friend, Yosemite climbers in the 1970s were really amazing hackers. They didn't have anywhere near the level of equipment available today but innovated in some key areas. As an example, Yvon Chouinard (one of the Dirtbags referenced in the article) founded Patagonia. One of his biggest innovations was recognizing that some of the equipment his first company manufactured damaged rock, so they invented some new tech, leading to a patent on Hexentrics in 1974.

Here are some references:

is it more fair to say one reason they don't like holding cash because they have to pay interest to their depositors on it without getting any return on it?

So putting the cash to work (in a reverse repo) even at 0.05% allows them to convert it to an asset and generate some return.
Did you use platforms like Handshake or Jumpstart to apply?
It might be. But I've never used SwitftUI. I'm taking inspiration from web technologies and various GUI systems I've used.
I can kinda relate to it, but I also understand you. I don't know what the author experienced before being so outgoing with it, but I assume there was a phase of "putting up a happy facade and just carry on". And thats really bad, probably worse than "over-correcting" and being very open about it, atleast for yourself, IMO. :-/

I would never open myself to co-workers like this. I can't even tell most of my friends, because I don't want to burden them with it. But a part of me would still like to, just wants to shout it out and let them know (but can't). Because having nobody to support you with this but yourself and some medication is... not ideal. A "facade" like this, where you don't let people know that you're not fine, is pretty exhausting in the long run. It's like you're a robot, mechanically trying to keep everybody from worrying.

I don't know if the other extreme is any better, but if it works for her and her environment, good for her. ^^
Probably the same thing that would happen if we shut off electricity or running water for one day a month.

There's no reason everyone suffer because a small handful of people lack the self discipline to disconnect.
As I said, if someone had convincingly proved this, it would shake the field to its core. Since that didn't happen, they can't have convincingly proven this.
Cutest thing I've seen today. Every tech team should hire a children's book illustrator to explain their products/tech, IMO.
Agreed. Recently I have found probiotics to be a correlated with my mood. Stormy thoughts seem to links to my stormy gut.
> It's enough time for most people to exit during normal circumstances.

Most people don't monitor the finer details of their investments 24/7.

12 hours is better than nothing, but it's unrealistic to expect everyone to stay tapped into news feeds about their crypto at minimum twice a day.
tldr: they're pivoting from placement agency to job board

i'm not sure about the viability of their "search criteria" though - things like test coverage, release cadence etc are team specific, so it's hard to define it at a company-level, other than maybe small startups
You don't "need" anything to make a track with spatial audio, it's just a format that you can package your sound in. You could feasibly turn a 48khz lossy MP3 into a spatial audio track, but it would probably sound pretty bad. Likewise, the actual stem-separation process that you're describing is similarly dubious: spatial audio can still sound pretty terrible, particularly in cases where it's an afterthought (see: all media).
and the sheer size of these rounds always astonishes me for very specialized software products. 300 million bucks, that's enough to build a death star, what do they do with all of the cash
The answer is your ideology needs to be conservative. Helps to be racist, classist, and ignorant too.
I agree, To me discovery process is broken. FANG sends email every year once you have already reached onsite. But I am trying to get into this tech companies new IPO's not FANG. I have applied to many good ones.

> That's not a description of an algorithm. You've stated a "problem".

I wanted to say the same thing, but you managed to find the words I couldn't.

> An algorithm, by definition, is an actual deterministic procedure

That's not necessarily true. There are non-deterministic algorithms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeterministic_algorithm
From that stat page, Syrians have about 9 fixed broadband subscriptions per 100 people, and fixed telephone lines were only a bit more, but mobile phone subscriptions were more than one per person.

To a first approximation, cutting off mobile data is cutting off the internet. The same is true in many other countries; there's just not a lot of people with home internet connections, and often those aren't part of government forced internet shutdowns (sometimes on purpose to try to let businesses still work, sometimes because it's easier to get the handful of wireless carriers to do it than the sometimes many wireline carriers, sometimes because the government forgot). But anyway, if you cut off 90% of the people, it breaks the utility for communicating with people within your country.
This is now possible with the advent of CBRS.

https://freedomfi.com/ is selling hardware later this year which will allow you to become your own cell tower for 5G CBRS bands. You'll get paid $.50 per gb consumption, paid in Helium HNT crypto (yes, crypto). Its still a big work in progress but could totally unlock private deployments of 5G networks and make them almost as easy as setting up wifi.
> Only in the US is speaking Spanish considered a race.

No, its not.

Hispanic is not a race, but an ethnic category independent of race.

And it doesn’t mean “speaking Spanish”, it means: “a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.” [0]

> but I was told told its just the official racist term for Mexicans.

Told by whom? Obviously this is deeply false. It also contradicts your later claim that:

> Some Mexicans are not Hispanic.

So, I'm not clear what your story is, is it that it is just an "official racist" code for "Mexican" or is it …something else?

> Its _official_ racism, they decide if you are or are not Hispanic and if they decide you are and you thought you were not, or vice versa, you can be banned from entry into the US forever for “lying” on the visa form.

Neither the immigrant nor non-immigrant visa application form asks for ethnicity in general or Hispanic origin in particular. [1][2]

I see that it says "If you want to upgrade to Visual Studio 2022 but are worried about compatibility, binary compatibility with the C++ runtime will make it painless." I assume that means that this release will have the same binary compatibility that 2015/2017/2019 had? I.e. that this is equivalent to an MSVC v143?
I am totally gonna use your solution. Thanks. This has been a huge problem for me as well.

You need some other animals - Beavers maybe? - who are in the same forest and who just have a simple system of scratching messages onto the side of a single large tree somewhere that everyone goes to look at regularly. Then at the end see how many picnics the beavers missed vs how many otters lost their fucking minds from the complexity of the system and then see who comes out ahead.
They're using a transceiver that only operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band, and putting a mixer in front of it to upconvert/downconvert frequencies beyond that. These ranges are probably the gaps between what the AT86RF215 can handle on its own and the frequencies at which the mixer kicks in.
It enables Gleam developers to write Gleam code in a wider variety of situations. Web frontends are one obvious example (though as you say there are more mature ecosystems for that) but there are many others, some of which are listed in the post.

I think it is unlikely many people will pick Gleam to make just a web frontend, but if you have a Gleam backend it may be more appealling to also use it on the frontend so that you can share code and type definitions between them. In future a full stack Gleam web framework may also take care of the typically JSON API boilerplate between the front and back ends.

I can see myself using Gleam on AWS lambda and on Android in the near future using the JavaScript backend.

Many MLM companies fit the legal definition of a Pyramid scheme (and have faced consequences from the FTC in some cases).

The general rule is that if the majority of money does not come from selling to retail customers (either directly or downstream), but rather from recruiting new members, then it's a pyramid scheme.
Wow, sounds great. Where have you been working / which cryptocurrencies/services have you been working on?

Our ears are separated laterally but not vertically.
>Any argument against global menus are really unfounded

I disagree, for an example: global menus do not work well at all with focus-follows-mouse. It's not really possible to design a good system that has both. I've seen various attempts to try to make focus-follows-mouse work on macOS, and the usability is very poor. Similarly, you will have bad usability trying to plug global menus into a system that isn't really focused around the concept of menus.

But I think you're right that in the end it doesn't really matter, someone can get used to doing it either way.

Definition of idealogical: based on or relating to a system of ideas and ideals, especially concerning economic or political theory and policy.

I'm not talking about ideology or political theory. I'm talking about "If a specific person's life is in the toilet due to social crap they have no power to fix, it gets pretty fucking depressing. And often it's vastly more socially acceptable to say I'm depressed than to say I'm oppressed and being denied opportunity for BS reasons"

If you aren't the mod, quoting guidelines at me like I'm behaving badly when I'm not is a PC form of ad hominem. Ad hominems are also against the guidelines, FYI.

Those are a ton of combining accents put together. Crucially: they don't make the line any taller—that's what makes them so hard to read! An integral should be a little taller than the line height but you still want the integral's limits to be legible. Maybe I'm being too prescriptive; ∫₀¹𝑥 𝑑𝑥 would read ok if that 1 were stacked on top of the 0 without any other changes.

My apologies if HN's formatter strips the special characters (edit: it didn't yay!): I wrote integral sign, subscript 0, superscript 1, math italic x, thin space, math italic d, math italic x. And maybe the idea is we should use words like "the integral from zero to one of x with respect to x." IDK.

No, I used Linkedin at the time.

Then I stopped bothering when it's super obvious that isn't working. Particularly, on Linkedin you could see the number of people that has applied (maybe a paid feature, i don't remember now). And for any entry level software engineering and data science position it's always in the 100s.

The one recruiter that I had contact with did more work than all of these. I've since switched jobs (to one of the FAANG) and that was through recruiter too.
Well, they do know the tech stack, the domain, the specific problem. Now they know whether the solution resolved their specific problem, if their code review/testing caught any bugs, etc, etc.

If anything, they have the most amount of information in this context. I really don't think of them as being the least qualified.
"WHY I WILL NEVER NOT TALK ABOUT MY DEPRESSION" doesn't really seem like the "the world has broken her of talking about it"...
Or maybe those founders who claim they can't form a group need to get together to talk about how it feels to not be listened to and how they are constantly dealing with people trying to one-up them. Maybe they feel they're always solving everyone else's hard problems but nobody's solving theirs.

There is help for that:

As someone who has been critical of TripleByte here on HN in the past, I appreciate the identification and acknowledgment of where things went wrong and why people were unhappy. This seems like a sincere pivot where the community was heard. Wishing TripleByte luck and success.

I can also report I haven’t received a single TripleByte email since the issue was last brought up :) Thank you for standing by that.

Does this difference still hold if time were discrete? I may be out of my depth, but it seems intuitive that if time were discrete, you could enumerate all possible interleavings of actors' actions, and reproduce their behaviors in a Turing machine.
Just because you mentioned 5G CBRS:

Freedomfi (https://freedomfi.com/) is selling hardware later this year which will allow you to become your own cell tower for 5G CBRS bands, based on Facebook's magma project. You can backhaul a 5G modem/antenna, offload to a major MNO/MVNO, and get paid $.50 per gb consumption, paid in Helium HNT crypto (yes, crypto). Its still a big work in progress but could totally unlock private deployments of 5G networks and make them almost as easy as setting up wifi.
Can you do this for every technology stack, maybe one for multi-threading in C sharp
Thanks for the article! Well written I think. I agree with the top post that if you're a engineer who hasn't dealt with low level networking stuff, worked in a DC, or had to be on call, this probably isn't a good first project. But golly, I can't wait to have the free time and capital to try starting one. (I live in a spectrum dominated area) Maybe try and make the whole operation solar powered.

Also fun, for anyone else who's interested taking "DIY self hosting" to new extreme, it's possible to start your own cell phone company! I don't have a link handy, but search "starting an MVNO" will yield tons of links. When I did the math, it worked out to require only ~100 customers to hit break even. (assuming your time and labor is free, of course)

I have unreasonably happy giggle-fit inducing day dreams about some day using my own designed and manufactured smart phone (easy, because IDGAF about trendy features. running stock debian is fine.), which gets service from my own service provider, and my homemade laptop, getting internet from my own ISP, in my solar powered house.

Also also, for anyone who lives in the SFBA, monkeybrains internet is the best ISP evar. I was one of their first customers, and I miss my ~4ms ping times to the office, and ~8ms ping time to my colo box.

Bitcoin would no longer be volatile if it expanded to represent an appreciable global fraction of liquid value.

Which is a huge if! That's the maximalist bet, and I still have trouble believing in it even as I've watched intermediate predictions come true.

If the BTC chain became a Schelling point, where all market players see it as their best move to hold some, then eventually a satoshi could be worth about a 2021 US cent. It would then be unlikely to fluctuate more than a fraction of a percent in BTC/fiat pairs per day, unless one of those fiat coins happened to be hyperinflating.

If both of those things happened, then pricing things in satoshis would be more stable than pricing them in fiat, because that's what hyperinflation is: it's when inflation in a currency gets so bad that it becomes a bad unit of account.

The fact that there's no alternative to the USD at the moment is the best argument for the BTC chain forming that Schelling point. But! It hasn't happened, and contrary the maximalists, there is no law of nature which says that it will.
