A car that you could buy for a few thousand today is much more capable than the cars people bought for a few thousand in the past.

New cars are status symbols or toys. I never understood how people could trade a human's full time salary for a car. People take old cars to work every day for a small fraction of the cost.

American lifestyles have inflated much more than the price of comparable goods. Average home size is way up over time, people prepare less of their own food, people buy fancy big cars with lots of horsepower and unnecessary capability.

I would complain about iphones and big TVs but in reality- the only things relevant to most of our budgets are our insistence to compete for the hottest real estate and new cars

Ultimately, we’ll change the narrative around highly lethal cancers like Glioblastoma brain cancer, where standard treatment offers no hope.

Navio’s development team is remote-first. We use modern tools like such as Kotlin, React / React Native, GraphQL, Kafka / Java and Elasticsearch and run at AWS using Terraform Infrastructure as Code, Docker / ECS, RDS Postgres, Lambda / Serverless, etc. We’re unencumbered by legacy code and are writing our systems from the ground up the right way.

I think there is a middle ground.

If I'm doing a PR (e.g. for a new dev), and it's becoming a real bloodbath, I stop doing the PR and do a 1:1 pair programming session w/ the dev. This helps save face and keeps the advice private and inculcation.

Don't let PR's turn into public floggings.
This is baffling. Is this supposed to provide above market returns (after adjusting for risk)? If not, what's the point? If yes, how's the counterparty to this (insurance companies) coming up with the returns? After all, they're just investing the money so they can pay out a few decades later; it's not like they can print money to do the payouts. Are they just betting on the insurance companies mispricing their insurance products?
This was a really interesting read. How horrible for the author that she had to be the sort of rag doll at the center of a bunch of ignorant and/or malicious flamewars. For someone in transition to have your identity and sort of gender worthiness questioned and evaluated must have been especially hurtful.

If you haven't read the story, you should. It's an interesting one that explores in a smart way how the military and government might exploit the concepts of gender and sex in pursuit of ever-more-effective warfighters.
I think that if I can improve the world in any way before death, that's good enough.
Shouldn't time-based (weekly and holiday) and trend effects be multiplied rather than added?

For instance, if users spend twice as many hours on the weekend on a website, and the total number of users has doubled, then these effects multiply to give 4x visits than the baseline non-weekend.

I get the feeling, too, he had a hunch who it was from the beginning.
"Despite this attempt to destroy his reputation with falsehoods, Mr Nolan has agreed not to name this individual, dependent on his future conduct."

I remember this same line from the CNN Trump WWE GIF guy - the cases are different, for one this is a legal case and it being in the UK. Here is what CNN said in that story[1]:

CNN is not publishing “HanA*holeSolo’s” name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

Exactly when does this kind of behavior become blackmail? How remorseful do you have to continue to be so the corporation threatening to dox you doesn't? A lot of people will say a name alone is not doxing, but the safety concerns are real when there's potentially thousands of people that would hurt you, seeking out the rest of your details. It seems these media companies have near unlimited power to brazenly admit to this, under the excuse of supposed public interest in the identity of private citizens. The identities aren't even relevant to their respective stories.

It should go without saying that defending the post content specifically is not the point, and can easily flip between political ideologies as years go by and this kind of media behavior is left unchecked.

> Isn't the issue here that APFS doesn't enforce policy and instead lets the tools resolve encoding details, resulting in differences by the different tools?

The issue isn’t that APFS doesn’t enforce policy, per se. It’s that combined with the fact that its predecessor (HFS+) did, and the transition wreaked havoc on programs that came to rely on file names always being normalized Unicode.
One issue I have with query languages is how poorly they interact with the "host language" . SQL requires non-composable string templating or complex, low-performance ORM's.

The only query languages that do this "right" are datalog (Datomic) and Q/K (KDB+, Shakti).
yeah, always use a static analysis tool to check for unchecked error values. Saved my arse so many times!

No, Julia and Elixir are the same as Python in that regard (Python is more annoying because of the indentation problem).

TravelJoy | Engineer #6 | Full-stack / Generalist | Remote within USA | Full-time

TravelJoy is the market network for the leisure travel industry. Our mission is to bring the joy back into travel planning. We've built a product that thousands of travel agents absolutely love and depend on every day.

Why join us?

- We’re an interesting collection of colleagues, united by our mutual love of travel. We’re a team of nine, seven of whom have a background in software engineering. The founders worked at LiveRamp together ($310MM exit).

- Virtually all of our growth has been organic and referral based (85%!) which goes to show how much our clients love us, and the inherent value of what we’re building.

- While the pandemic was incredibly hard on travel in 2020, we managed to stay lean, and grew our revenue and customers from Dec 2019. We're poised for extremely strong growth as travel comes back in 2021.

I just gave you one. You can now cheaply and rapidly capture dense lightfields of highly specular objects for VR display. Get yourself a camera array (100 cameras is not infeasible!) and you can capture them instantaneously. That's totally game changing compared to the current state of the art of scanning camera gantries (slow) or photogrammetry (fails on complex or highly specular geometry).

If you're asking me for an example of it being publicly used in production, well I think you're asking a lot considering the technique is only a few months old.
I am the author of a library that requires knowledge and awareness of integers that are strictly not wider than the general purpose register on the processor; the fact that `usize` is "the largest GPR" on every target Rust knows about is great but I'd still appreciate a distinction between "this fits in exactly one GPR" vs "this fits in the address bus"

_especially_ since the library in question creates pointers that are wider than `usize`

It seems misleading for the headline to talk about "damages" when the case settled. "Damages" to me suggests court-ordered compensation.
I often find that doing good code review is much more exhausting than writing good code. Anything that puts more garbage on my plate for review is a net drain on resources.
I think I found it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27643171
If you're in the UK and an expensive phone really did break just from falling 4 inches after one week, I'd be tempted to try returning it to the seller. There must be a credible argument that it's unfit for purpose if it can be broken that easily due to a design flaw. It's not as if you carelessly dropped it from a pocket at waist height onto a concrete floor or something.
The short answer is that, in practice, a huge proportion of Matrix activity is centralized, and they control it.
Smells bad to me. Paying 6 figures without HMRC touching it, hummm! People that engage defamation need to have a proper sentence, it can start we community service.
There are also several (known) political mercenaries who operate bot farms specifically to attack leftists and signal boost those attacks to astroturf popularity.
I'm not really sure why being famous is supposed to diminish your rights in regards to defamation, or really in regards to anything. If someone spreads falsehoods against another person in a way that damages their reputation they ought to have legal means at their disposal to set that straight.

I don't really see why the US gets this right at all, it's just part of Americas culture where lies and truth are treated as equal and as a result integrity has completely vanished from public discourse. Very visible in how all politicians are treated as 'being the same', which is the logical consequence of this atmosphere of defamation which trolls abuse with impunity. If you can lie without repercussion about everyone, the public cannot distinguish reality from fiction.
I think it just has to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If someone anonymously tweets something knowingly false along the lines of "[X] is a rapist/pedophile and I have proof", I agree you should be able to sue that person. A false, defamatory accusation like that can easily ruin your career and life.

But I can imagine plenty of things that someone could argue are defamatory which fall into a much grayer area where I believe court involvement isn't warranted. I think this debate will just run in circles until all of the tweets in question are presented.
The sci-fi writer in question is a trans woman herself. Saying she was attempting to normalize hate speech is the least charitable read of the situation, in my opinion.
> so good luck collecting

Why would you not pay something that you settled?

People don't do that - because they wanted to settle to avoid the court case. If you didn't pay you'd go straight into a court case.

Likely they already gave evidence of ability to pay as part of the discussions.

What you're talking about is court awarded damages which doesn't apply here as that's not what we're talking about.

> A lot of what is commonly believed about socialist countries is in fact propaganda by capitalists

That’s...true, but not in the way you seem to intend it. The focus on regimes espousing Leninism and its descendants to typify “socialist countries” as opposed to those following what Marx described (and objected to, but Marx doesn't encompass socialism any more than Lenin does) as “bourgeois socialism” and “democratic socialism” is a pretty big problem, especially when dismissing Western socialist movements, which are mostly in those categories, not Leninism or its derivatives.
The most common cause is thunderstorms.
