I agree with author on that this flight, this industry is not - primarily - about science.

It is definitely useful for science, though in a roundabout way. But primarily it's for society. Apollo project was chiefly political - yet it keeps inspiring people, young minds and others, to look up differently. Which converts to very real dollars and science.
Why is it different? One reason I used Youtube is that they started out with a five star rating system, and moved to the current one because it worked better. Users only ever rate things either five stars or one star, when given the choice.

The only exception I know if is Goodreads, where people seem to put a great deal of effort into their ratings (which I find super interesting). You might argue this is a better analog because the audience would have more overlap with newspaper readers, but people aren't going to put as much thought into a short article versus a long novel.

It could be meant not in a way of "this is ram vs this is disk", but "we have a 1tb dataset, what kind of a server do we need?", and the person not knowing enough about databases to think they need 1tb of ram to be able to run it.

Sounds to me like his phrasing was poor and its a bit out of context. I think what he is getting at is he doesn't like it when people confuse minimisation of damage from security breaches with prevention of security breaches. Obviously you should have both, but don't pretend one is a substitute for the other.

The way I read it, privilege minimisation is almost isomorphic with his actual principle "eliminating trusted code" ... if the code doesn't have access to a resource then it doesn't need to be trusted with that access. So perhaps he is railing against people who want to deploy code into fundamentally insecure contexts and then claim its OK because of protection through limits on privileges .... but he's saying it is always better to improve the fundamental architectural security and not put it in that context in the first place.
The only progress needed here is for the protection racket to be broken down, this can be done with the stroke of a pen. Allowing it to "take time" only gives those who seek to extract as much money as possible from the artificially limited market more time to do so.
The headline is rubbish. They saw it, they just didn't call it something different. They lumped it in with green or other colors.
In many cases you have to speak "our language" if you want "us" to understand you.

But that shouldn't mean that you "have to have our way of life", whatever that means.

Diversity is good I believe, as long as we can understand each other.
It’s kind of amusing to tell somebody whose prior ventures were “how do we do tech hiring better” and “being the interim security team for small companies, and then helping hire their replacements” that they seem pretty far removed from new talent pipelines.
Gen4 reactors are an active area of research, but it isn't like there are none. Some concepts go back decades, as do prototypes like THTR-300 that actually produced power for a few years.

That stress will limit the lifetime of a reactor is true for any reactor. Any BWR or PWR has a maximum lifetime set by the pressure vessel, because that is the one single component you can neither fix nor exchange. As soon as mechanical stress, neutron embrittlement and temperature gradients have done a certain amount of damage, the plant is finished. But even for currently operating reactors, we are still exploring how long that will take exactly, by regularly checking the materials in the running reactors, because no one ran a prototype for 40 or 60 years. And you cannot compare with other models of reactors, because they are usually very different in operating parameters, materials and design.

We currently do not know what a few decades of operation will do to a MSR vessel, but the point is that trying it out has been hindered for a long time by regulations that are not fit for that type of reactor. So you arrive at a costly chicken and egg problem, where a regulator asks for a proof (ideally a proof by pointing at a working prototype with a few decades of maturity) just to allow you building a prototype.
Because there are more lives to save and suffering to reduce in that far off land than in your own country, perhaps?

Are you, say, a man? Then why would you give anything to a charity that helps women? (Or vice versa.) Or are you perhaps white? Then why would you give anything to a charity that helps people of colour? (Or vice versa.) Etc, etc... Get the point yet? If not, I'll spell it out for you: "Charity" that only benefits copies of yourself isn't really charity.

If you're a novice I'd recommend staying away from what is reputed to be the most powerful psychedelic on the planet: 5-MeO-DMT.. at least until you have some more experience with other substances.. though many 5-MeO-DMT users think there's really no way to prepare for it, as nothing else remotely even comes close.

Legal MDMA therapy with a professionally trained and licensed therapist is probably the safest way to dip your toes in.. and, regardless of what you do, integration with a professional therapist you like and trust can be very helpful.
Ah okay, different TUI than googling showed me
> Literally no one said that.

I am not saying people said that. All those sentences you dismiss are arguments I make to explain why the idea that content owners forced anybody to steal their content is wrong (and dishonest).

> Now. When you're ready to argue with what I'm saying, I will gladly continue this discussion. However, so far you're debating some points literally no one said.

On the contrary, I am debating a point you literally made.

Reminder, this is what you wrote and what I disagree with:

> And the only fault lies with the people who decided to pull SG1 (and other content) from Netflix.

So it is my understanding you are the one not arguing with what I am saying.

With that being said:

You don't say much besides "I am entitled to pirate any content I want if it's not available legally, content owners are forcing me to do it and it's their fault". And that is simply not true, they are not forcing you to do anything.

edit: I'll play that card too:

> Ah yes. The poor owners who didn't anything at all and now are suffering.

Literaly no one said that.

edit 2:

> > Whatever it is, it's up to them to manage their content however they see fit.

> Literally no one said it wasn't up to them

Then stop fucking complaining about how they don't give you access to their content for god's sake.

It's not bad in absolute terms, but to me it's understandable that globally distributed tech companies might want some portion of their workforce to come from tech hubs, or their home countries, or just to have a certain level of diversity in terms of where people are from, instead of primarily selecting for people from low cost of living places. It's not only about saving money, and I don't see how "fear" has much to do with it either. These incentives are real and could have a huge effect on the culture of a company.
i guess it is a recent development as i don't remember seeing that from AMZN recruiters before and thus those current employees may not experienced it when they were recruited.

I think it is an outrageous borderline illegal practice worth mentioning in related public forums, as I think it may become a widely accepted practice if not called.

If you think about it - i posted about multi-trillion dollar company with an army of lawyers what probably [IANAL] can be construed as libel if not true. Would i be posting it if i didn't have documentary support for it? ( AMZN has it on their email servers too so it isn't out if the blue for them)
A nice addition would be either (1) support other languages or (2 - simpler) the ability to edit the field titles (e.g. change from "Network name" to "Nome da rede").
But China and Russia do not interfere nearly as much with countries all over the planet.

And the “just let countries live their life peacefully” alternative is actually much more enticing than “force capitalism and democracy on countries that don’t care, by killing hundreds of thousands and ruining lives so they end up hating it for generations” reality that we live in.

Vietnam, Irak, Afghanistan, maybe learn from your mistakes at some point and acknowledge this strategy is not the best?
Reading about all the ageism anecdotes on HN over the years really pushed me towards self employment. I'm still in my 30s, but my 40s will hit sooner than I think and I don't want to be caught with my pants down.
That's the huristic I'm pushing back on: Big = bad, efficient = bad, ect. Some problems are indeed exaserbated at scale, others are not. I think this is especially true for the ag industry and the issues mentioned up thread. You can bust up the biggest factory farms into 100 smaller companies, but they would still have the same practices. Same with monocrop farming.
This is really cool! Good work!
That is precisely my question too. Who or what provides the source-data?

Ideally market-data should be freely available to everyone. I understand it is an expense to provide such data. But it could be mandated by law that anybody operating a stock exchange should provide that data for free, to guarantee efficient markets.
What makes it good satire is its proximity to reality.

Pecking order, and the desire for social status and power over others, drives so much of human behavior, especially in companies but also in schools, prisons, churches, hospitals and all other human organizations and social groups.

In companies, much of this has depended on in-person interaction. For a spacious walled office to be a sign of high social status, it must be visible and everyone else must be stuck in open plan misery. Asserting and enhancing a manager's social status (for example by humiliating underlings) is much more effective when done publicly and in person.
Because, when a programmer write a call to memset, she does, if you, as a compiler, take her seriously at all, expects the memory to be set, and not it just being a mere suggestion 1). should added a separate function called it memsetOrDontIfYouThinkINeverReadThisAgain. Does this make sense?

1) Yes, I know there are rules and all that are precise and allow that.
It's still sad, because then you need a lambda for just these one or two things that might run long (or maybe even forever) and now you have to mix lambda and e.g. ECS.
Well, I honestly use the feeling of being a dumbass (AKA: imposter syndrome) as fuel to learn more and do better.

As you say, self reflection and skill improvement.

I honestly think it's why I'm a good programmer...

That... and being lazy. I'll work for weeks to make processes easier. IE: a release process that used to be manual and fraught with mistakes is now, more or less, button clicks and powershell scripts.
We just got an email from a painter the other day and I encouraged him to post his stuff here. We'll see if he does. Admittedly he only knows about HN because he's also a programmer.
55 year old software engineer , with extensive RF/analog background with dual EE/CE degrees. I can’t begin to count the number of interviews gleaned from LinkedIn where the first 45 minutes of the interview was a late 20’s early 30’s person telling me all about their wonderful work and how great they are. Not a word about the job, nothing about the company, all about them and the places they’ve worked, what they have done. Just who the hell is being interviewed? When this happens, it is all I can do not to walk out of the interview or kill the call/Zoom session.

The moment some places figure out you’re over 45, it is over. Except for very forward looking start-ups who want to grow very quickly.

That is where I have been working for the past 10 years..best time of my life. But I also know, this is my last employer.
Long waits for care, like waiting months for appointments, and can be very difficult to reschedule. Substandard care is pretty common. They try to cut costs and don't pay very well. They even have looser restrictions on physician testing than states, so sometimes you end up with lower quality people that couldn't hack it under the state requirements. Oftentimes you're seeing a PA or nurse practitioner rather than a physician. For basic things that could be ok, but usually the people in need of care at the VA have complex needs. Long waits for approval of benefits which can take years, require multiple applications as they almost blanket deny some claims, and sometimes require legal assistance with third party medical evaluations. Limited facilities means long drives for some people, and even makes it a near impossibility for some.

I honestly haven't heard anything good about the VA other than it's free (but was really earned through service). The good care tends to be at what I would call the active duty facilities, like Walter Reed and Bethesda.
They did use the original source, the All Stars source is included in the recent leaks of Nintendo software.. You can see a lot of the original code and see what they changed. It seemed when I glanced at it that the SNES developers used a different level of indentation so it was noticeable when some new code was added in.
Really cool, despite that some comments show that generating such QR codes can be done with a simple command; because using this service is faster for me as a person who is not familiar with QRs.
Nordics and say Japanese may be listening cultures but in such a profoundly different way that it is hard to put them in the same group.

Japanese and Koreans speak in a very indirect and polite fashion. Us Nordics tend to be very blunt and direct. But we share this with the Dutch and Germans.

For me the main dividers are between direct and indirect speakers.

Like Americans like to keep things a bit fluffy and casual until they know you better or have sort of warmed up in the conversation. We are often opposite. We like going straight to the point and do the fluffy stuff last as way of ending a conversation.
Try Niagara Launcher. It does exactly that. You just have to long press the app to hide it from app list.
Wage theft is denial of _any_ wages owed. Overtime or not.
It seems obvious to me that this is true at least with laptops. And whatever costs are saved by a 5% larger battery must surely be offset by the higher costs of replacement when the battery ultimately dies?

I don't know it's so clear to me that this is true that I've not felt the need to research it. By all means if you have sources to the contrary I'd be happy to read them.

To me, we could save significant environmental waste if everything we manufactured was made to be repaired. I designed several pairs of 3D printed headphones [1] which are now the only headphones I wear, and the idea that I can replace any part if it breaks seems significant to me.

Julia and the Reincarnation of Lisp (2020)
The reason to use R is because someone else has already made an amazing library(usually some kind of academic research) for it that doesn't quite exist for python yet.

There is also an aspect that if you are using a technique you don't really understand you can do the same thing in python and R and compare if the results are the same.
Established providers' price tags are exorbitant (pun intended). Moving the price an order of magnitude lower will reach the audience two-three orders wider (it called demand elasticity).
Few people are willing to put in the long hard work required for many things including mental health. Instant gratification and quick fixes are very popular, and I'm not convinced of it being a long term solution.

It's like being challenged to climb a mountain but we just take a helicopter up instead. Sure we get to the top and see the view, but we still didn't learn to climb it. The unshakable personal growth is missed, and there will be many future mountains with the same challenges.

Do the real work, find a good psychologist, build a relationship, and the healing can be life changing on levels you only dream of. It took me about 3 years(!) before I finally got brave enough to truly open up to my therapist which finally lead to identifying that I have OCD. That has been an enormous mental burden lifted from my psyche. The journey was well worth the milestone, and it's just the start of the work.
This reminds me of the WWDCs. Tim Cook is there to introduce the products, but their engineers (or management of the individual product) are the ones to demonstrate it.

But, I guess Apple probably has people with better salesmanship skills in each product team than the startup had below the CEO. I'm arguing with myself.

That just moves the cost of recycling to the public

The public has an interest in a clean desert, since the desert surrounding the city was the primary source of recreation for the people living there.

It is also essentially a regressive tax since the wealthy consume/dispose of more goods

Trash fees were based on the assessed value of your home, so the wealthy paid more in trash fees than the poor.

Also most areas don't have a single exclusive trash service (monopoly).

As noted in the original comment, there were multiple trash companies in this city. All had to adhere to the same rules.

single stream recycling in America, on average, is a complete failure

It wasn't single stream. There were four bins. One each for garbage, glass, metals, and plastics.

I'd either expect such a trash/recycling service (as you describe) to be quite expensive or actually recycle very little of relative to what could be recycled.

I rented my house, so I couldn't tell you if it was expensive, or not. But as I stated above, the price was based on the value of the home. I doubt anyone ever changed their mind about buying a house because the cost of trash disposal in City A was $10/month more than in City B.

If the manufacture's & end consumers of goods were forced to confront the cost of disposal at the time of purchase it would create a large incentive for companies to make products with less waste and products that are easier to recycle.

I agree. But that's not the reality today. We may get there 50 years from now, but people don't want to live surrounded by 50 years of garbage in order to fulfill a social theory.

The goal isn't to just to recycle everything that currently can be recycled but to make everything easy to recycle.

Which was exactly what this did: Make it easy for people to recycle everything that could be recycled.
But no mechanism was ever guaranteeing the 50% in the first place. So their program could already stop working correctly without any changes and with the same compiler. What I'm saying is I don't know how they'd even tell the difference between my compiler being the problem, or them just being unlucky and not getting the interleavings they want even though they're statistically likely.
Lots of good comments. I’ll just add that next time the business set a promised delivery date you do you own estimate and let them know the promised date is unrealistic ASAP. Don’t try adjust the estimate so it fits, give them the estimate for the features promised and have the conversation about what needs to be dropped to meet the delivery date. If it is possible to add devs instead do that as early as possible. That’s a very professional approach that no one can fault.
It's not actually real. The lobbying firm behind most of the fact sheet is made up of people on the boards of different tech firms.
It's currently my favorite launcher. I decided to try it one day and suddenly I couldn't switch back to lawnchair launcher. Even when I tried Ratio launcher, my long waited beta launcher, it couldn't replace it.
It sounds pretty unlikely that they didn't get the investment because of the demo going wrong. Investors aren't crazy, they know the product isn't don't yet and small things can crash it before it's polished. More likely the management were not convincing about the investment case.

Also the thing about being junior, even a bright one, is you go down a lot of dead end paths. You learn a lot, but you also eat up a lot of time. This is the risk of hiring juniors, and the CTO should have known.
Lol I'm not diagnosing anyone. Do you go to the doctor for every splinter you get? Do you demand antibiotics for a cold?

The point is that people decide when they need care, and some of those people are idiots.
To summarize, populations who diet and exercise, the same amount as populations in the 80s, are heavier. No one knows why, but some possibilities are

- increases in chemicals in the environment

- increased prescription drug use

- increases in animal product consumption

- changes in the human gut biome

- proliferation of artificial sweeteners
> And I am yet to see a single real use case where vim is faster than good old basic keyboard shortcuts (that includes cmd-d)

I feel like I’m far from a vim “power user”, but people regularly comment on how quickly I edit text and code when I’m doing a screenshare. It becomes second nature in short order, so I’m never thinking about some multi-step process to before an edit; I just “do it”.

As for the “5dd” example… there are multiple ways to do things. For me, that would likely be:

* navigate to the first or last line of the block

* <shift+V> to start a selection of whole lines.

* navigate to the other extreme

* <D>

I mean you put it a bit harshly but I'm with you. Last year I delivered an app in vanilla JS (super tight deadline and couldn't figure out how the google maps / react integration worked). It was fine. I rolled my own reactive data structure in a few lines of code (seriously, it can be less than 10) and got to work. Really enjoyable experience. Felt so much closer to the browser and didn't feel like I was suffering a big loss in expressiveness.

I've been doing some more vanilla JS recently in my off time. The only thing that really makes me wish for a library is IndexedDB - by the time I took JS seriously it already had promises, and this oldschool callback heavy 'onerror' style is a challenge.
