He has one cook right now, who is working overtime and extra shifts.

That cook should be asking for a raise, right now.

His angle: "If you pay me more, I can probably find someone else I know to come work here."
So people can get a sham job to get cheap housing?
I live in Truckee, it's a town of 16,000 people. We'd see deaths on facebook, etc. but that deaths weren't nearly high enough to cause a problem with finding any sort of staff. The prblem, as the article states - there IS NO HOUSING.

In Truckee - this is the problem: Sure, you can live in Reno 40 minutes away and make $15-20 an hour there(but rents are rising - I know someone paying $3200 for a place now), but then why would you commute to a small town 45 minutes away for the same $17 if you can't live there and enjoy the mountains?
This seems like markets adjusting to inflation. It’s a combination of real estate NIMBYism and COVID. If the cost of real estate goes up, you have to pay people more or they move. And to pay people more you may have to charge more for the goods and services.

Rent control and government owned housing tend to work less than increasing the housing stock. (Affordable housing problems only help a small fraction of people and raises the cost for everyone else slowing down new building)
It’s obviously horrible, but it also means that it will allow other creatures to grow to fill that space. It’s like a forest fire. Sure the devastation is bad but there’s also renewal afterwards. It’s not like it will remain barren forever.
Right it’s not a realistic suggestion as not even the client does it in software!

> Black people were literally experimented on under the guise of vaccination programs. They have no reason to believe that isn't going to happen again.

This is the only sympathetic group out of the bunch. (Lots of people are ignorant of a lot of things for lots of reasons, sometimes at great cost. Those costs are generally theirs to carry.)

Practically, however, that sympathy has limits. Should we shut down New York again because those who refuse to get vaccinated will die? Would there be the political will to?
> It's not going to change until the UI benefits and eviction moratoriums end. What person is going to go and work all day for less money??

Or, employers could just offer more money.

> Seriously, if you don't work right now you are getting UI, Food Stamps, and you don't have to pay rent.

Note that there is not a rent moratorium, just an eviction moratorium, so unless you plan is to both get evicted and deal with the unpaid debt (perhaps through bankruptcy, which has downstream adverse impacts) when the moratorium ends, and not move.(since there is likewise not a moratorium on adverse credit reporting, or potential landlords making credit checks) there are very good reasons to pay rent.
This is great but I want to see a community mesh network which competes with the internet rather than delivering it. Best of it was based on existing wifi overlaps. Distributed, decentralized.
In Counter-strike there are footstep sounds with spatial audio. How can the server not send that info to me in a way that won't reveal the player's direction? hearing players coming before you see them is a huge part of the game.

1.0 is going to take a lot longer than that.

ADHD wasn't a thing when I was a child. Does weed help with that? I've heard a lot of treating this condition with what is essentially legal amphetamines which sounds horrible to me.

It's a shame, though not surprising in the least, that the good, cheap stuff is illegal in most of the world.
Facebook Tells Biden: ‘Facebook Is Not the Reason’ Vaccination Goal Was Missed
Regardless of the actual costs, it's still a waste of energy to keep something hovering in the air when it can be moved over land as well: keeping something floating in the air will always require active power, whereas keeping it on the ground can be done passively (a spring/suspension system).

If we're serious about surviving the next 100 years, frivolous energy expenditure is not the way to go.
> On the other hand, solarpunk art is an overtly optimistic movement

A solar-punk society would still be infested with Homo sapiens, with all the problems entailed thereby, so artists should be able to come up with solar punk creations that are not utopian.
Actually you can do the same with clang.

Emscripten just installs a bunch of stuff to make it easier to use existing libraries.

If you just want to use standard library, no need for extra stuff.

I read your point as similiar to u/tgflynn's point about modeling (upthread).

Being a simple bear, so formal logic breaks my head, I agree.

Just a hunch:

These "impedance mismatches" are one root cause for our society's current epistemological crisis. Cases where we can't even agree to a shared base truth.

Further, "now is not now" is a bit like paradox, no? The ability to hold two contradictory thoughts in your head at the same time. A large fraction of people recoil from ambiguity. Also a source of endless strife.
Showing the difference between markup/scripting a single static element is pretty different from applications where you have to display lists of things with other lists of things inside. If you only have static elements then just writing it in HTML and making it dynamic with JavaScript is fine.

But once you have to display lists of stuff with lists of other stuff inside you basically need a template library otherwise you're going to be doing some pretty weird DOM manipulation to copy sections of elements.

So a comparison that might resonate better with folks here might be to have a pure JS TODO app with a comment section in each list item. It becomes harder to express in pure HTML. You'll want some template library to keep it maintainable.
I'd take that these "crypto holders" are indeed able to change their opinions, but for that they also need to change their investments on crypto.
I see. I'll let the real experts add some insight but I don't think language complexity has much to do with it, considering Rust compiles to an IR first anyway. And I would say Rust has a good cross-compilation story as it is. In 2016 (!) I managed to get Rust to compile my SDL2 game to a mipsel device that used a custom GCC toolchain (http://www.gcw-zero.com/develop)
it does, but you can only play matchmaking AFAIK, ESEA and FaceIT don't support linux for their anti-cheats.
Pick any Cartesian closed category. Says Lawvere:

If there exists t : Y -> Y such that t;y != y for all y : 1 -> Y then for no A does there exist a surjection A -> (A -> Y).

(He actually says something much stronger.) Note that the first half of this is saying "if there exists t such that t has no fixed points..."

Let our category be Set, the category of sets and functions; it is well-known to be Cartesian closed. Let A be the set of natural numbers and let Y be the Booleans. Then Lawvere is saying that there is no surjection N -> (N -> 2), and thus definitely no bijection, because there is a function 2 -> 2 with no fixed points: the negation function which swaps true and false has no fixed point.

It does not get much plainer without actually reading Lawvere and/or Yanofsky directly, sorry. I hope that this helps explain how inescapable this sort of theorem is.
>> "Wilderotter starts his employees at $20 an hour."

That's the entire problem. Everything is tied to pay. The reality is that nobody can get good labor, let alone good skilled labor, at 20$/hour. If your business model can only work by paying minimal wages then your businese model has failed. Labor costs, wage expectations, have gone up. That is a good thing for employees. I have little sympathy for anyone who thinks they should be brought back down.
There is little legal distinction between a 'publisher' and a 'host', which I understand is part of the pseudolegal gibberish that's part of the 'content moderation is censorship' belief system.

If your physical storage unit is consistently used for illegal drug dealing despite several arrests there, and several warnings from law enforcement, then yes you'd probably be liable for that. If you had significant scale of illegal content on Free Speech Drive, then yes you absolutely do face liability. I guess if you think you have a clever legal argument otherwise, you're free to spend $100-500k on a defense attorney to make that argument after your public arrest, while your name comes up online for 'Illegal Content Provider' for all time
I'm sure the readings that other people linked will be useful, but two points to give some intuition:

1. Genes don't have to be optimal, or even close to optimal to work. They just have to be good enough.
2. Nature loves to copy. Large segments of DNA can be copied by a number of mechanisms and randomly placed elsewhere in a genome. So once nature "discovers" (for example) a DNA-binding motif, that motif can be added to other genes, and now you have a diverse set of DNA-binding proteins, which will continue evolving on their own.

Yes. And then be charged with fraud.

Just slap Blokada on it. Personally I don't give a shit about privacy since I never see any advertising.

What use is it if a company knows everything about me when they can't use that information to sell me things?
This article is specifically about lawful carrying, not ownership. Criminals generally don't care whether carrying is lawful or not, so you wouldn't expect this particular law to matter a lot.

There just aren't a lot of cases where someone without any criminal intent carrying a gun all of a sudden gets mad and starts shooting people over an insult or something.

You are kind of right that the sheer volume of guns in the US, more than one per person (even if you count babies), could contribute to the homicide rate by making it easier for prohibited owners to still acquire a gun. But even that is complicated and has a lot of nuance.

The murders are very localized here to areas which throw off the average, and are much more strongly associated with factors other than guns. If you aren't in one of those areas, the murder rate is much lower.

In my opinion, guns are mostly fine most places in the US. But the general availability of guns does enable volent areas to be more violent based on specific local problems.
Which one? It's well known that Tesla upgrades your car to the latest hardware if you pay for FSD. And based on the latest FSD beta videos, there is a long way to go before Tesla is able to get a stable enough picture of the environment for level 5 driving. They are already running out of processing power with the current MCU even with the current pretty basic implementation.

Also I don't see how level 5 is possible if your cameras can be blinded by the sun or obstructed by road spray.

" Don't carry a gun if you're not ready to draw it, don't draw a gun if you're not ready to shoot. "

-Every gun instructor ever.

The issue is if someone wnat to jump on you and you have a gun, especially with no training, you'll be more dangerous to yourself than anyone wanting your wallet. I got robbed three time, because i was in the situation you describe (no money so have to live in high crime area, no car, and odd hours coz i had to finance my studies). I resisted one time, the first one. Trip to the hospital, police station, wasted a day for nothing after the robbery.

The two others i was polite, gave them my money ( rarely have more than 20 on me) and they let me keep my credit cards, ID and my phone (my shitty firefox OS did not impress them). I wouldn't be able to shoot at someone, so a gun on me is lost, and i think especially in a high crime area, walking with a gun would be a bad idea (and i know how to use one)

And i hope you have good armorers in TX with this law, because is someone want to buy a SW500 or the new tech S&W (don't have the name) and never used a gun before, they might kill their aggressor, but most likely not touch them, loose a hand in the process.
> Same applies to obesity in your opinion?

Of course not. We don’t understand how to prevent obesity. And losing weight—or keeping it off—involves more than visiting a Walgreens.

Also, if you’re obese, you’re suffering the effects of obesity all the time. If you’re unvaccinated, you are fine 99% of the time. If you stay home as much as possible, wear a mask outdoors and avoid large gatherings, you’re likely to continue being fine.
I wish I got a penny for each C and C++ developer that fails to follow that advice.
When I got my Bachelor's degree, we had a microprocessor lab that had a microprocessor kit with a keyboard that had hex numbers 0-9,A-F, and a few control keys such as load, reset, etc. To program the device, we wrote the program in assembly, looked up the corresponding hex opcodes and operands and basically did an assembler's job. The result was a bunch of hex codes that we loaded and executed. I'm guessing these codes are similar, and there's a lookup table of codes somewhere?

While this article doesn't do a good job of showing the benefits of state model, I still think it's a great way to build ui. Thinking of ui as derived state from your application model really helps in scaling ui applications reliably. Unfortunately react is not the best example of this approach. I would say try out elm or some of the clojurescript frameworks like reframe to truly grasp ui as application state
per capita. So you can:

be the world's largest polluters

increase pollution while the USA works very hard to decrease it

oppose the USA through war and genocide because of cynical win at all cost marxism

and then get a pass by starving billions.
A forest fire kills the adults but retains the young (seeds). This just killed everything. There’s no comparison.
How fast do these creatures reproduce? Are they going to generate billions in between now and the next hot season? How many more will die this hot season? Will even more die next hot season?
Awesome! For this exact purpose I’m currently using Apple’s reminder with an Apple Watch. Your app looks like a good alternative. A Windows version would also be great ;)

Agreed on the "post-90's economics" and "data is the new oil."

In fact, a lot of Tesla's current market cap is tied to customer data. It's an "unavailable at any price" ingredient of their (prospective) self driving end goal. It also allows them to credibly claim that they'll eventually have a great insurance business/etc. A moat.

I was just commenting on a potential feature of this post-90s market.

In the "Model T" economy, the sweet spot was somewhere between "no one can afford your product" and "everyone already has it." Ford in the 20s. Demand. Efficiency. durable products. In the post WWII economy, the sweet spot was about optimising efficiency (modern trade deals/routes grew around auto industries' efficiency needs) and fashion-based demand. Cars as a means of self expression and such... fleet turnover rates determine market size. Disposable products.

The economy we're stepping into, revenue will come from sources other than just making & selling cars. That means we might see much longer lasting cars.

Maybe by 2031 we'll know if 1931 theories of market saturation and planned obsolescence are true.

Cheaper, you mean internationally? Not likely due to taxing and regulations.

I think there is a basic rule at work: Don't mix politics and work. There are type of personal positions political, religious and sexual that are always controversial and is better to keep it to yourself.
As a VP of DevRel he definitely should be focusing in work related topics as afaik Google isnt #1 Cloud there.
In today's world we have been including sexual preferences as a norm for people to share at the workspace which has also triggered people and in my opinion we should keep it personal. In this case Awr is a VP who manages multiple people of Jewish origin. Looks like absolutely he has nothing better to do that decided that it was a good idea to write a blog post and record a video. This topic is not going to bring people together he really has very low emotional intelligence whatever his intention was. Good riddance
I find it extremely useful. It's really easy to use, and after years of inactivity - I can reanimate projects "just like that" by running a single command. Use docker-compose to your advantage and create a simple set of deployments locally - in the same way you would on a VM for "prod". Can't stress how useful it is if you ever want to give it to somebody else, or hire a dev. "docker-compose up" and your dev is set up.

It seems like the main value-add of this project is building/packaging pretty much standard Ruby in a consistent way across many Linux distributions, which is something that’s been hard to come by. I would lean into that more than anything else.
Ask HN: Transitioning to Freelancing with a Neurological Condition?
Hi all,

For various reasons, I've been considering a transition from full-time salaried employment to freelancing. My current situation is:

* I'm a backend web developer in the UK with three year's experience plus university. I've primarily spent my time written web server software in Kotlin and Java, although I'm comfortable writing software professionally in a couple of other languages including Python and Rust. I know enough SQL to get by but I'm far from an expert in the subject and I know my way around nix servers comfortably. I've also done a fair amount with AWS.

I have a neurological condition that flares up unpredictably with a frequency of anything from around three to six months. This condition is poorly understood and cannot be controlled or mitigated with any known medical intervention; while I can mostly tolerate the chronic symptoms these acute episodes cannot be averted. For this reason I find working in lockstep to a traditional 9-6 schedule very stressful for obvious reasons, and permanent WFH is not an option in my current role. Freelancing sounds an ideal way to work around this problem as I'd be setting my own hours rather than working to somebody else's schedule, meaning I'd be able to fit work around my condition rather than forcing myself to work through episodes which frankly is already leading to burnout. This neurological condition also precludes me doing UI-related work for the most part as my visual perception often differs quite strongly from the norm.

* I have experience with the formalities of running a limited company, as I've had a side project going with a couple of others which for various reasons I won't bore you with made sense to register as a limited company in the UK rather than the other possible legal configurations. While this is obviously very different from living off your own limited company, I'm at least aware of what's required to keep Companies House and HMRC happy. I'd likely be running my freelance business from the UK too, I know there's more tax-efficient jurisdictions to set up in but I'd rather stick to what I know at first!

* For reasons I've made in another post, I'm intending to move onto a liveaboard sailing boat in the future rather than renting or buying a house. While it's orthagonal to my main issue of dealing with a neurological condition, freelancing at least on the surface appears to lend itself much better to such a lifestyle as full-time 9-6 employment is incompatible with long ocean crossings which are a long-term ambition for me. It goes without saying that such work would have to be full-time remote.

Given this background, I'd really appreciate advice from anyone else who's made the transition from traditional employment to freelance work generally, or suffered with a neurological condition as a software developer and attempted to mitigate it in this way. I'd particularly appreciate recommendations for agencies which would be a good fit for the kind of work I have in mind.

Cheers in advance!
Flash floods cause havoc across Europe – in pictures
We need some frame of reference. How many creatures typically die every year? Without that the numbers are meaningless
I don’t think the small solution is too small to get approved. You just need to make the right arguments. “Hey let’s install this so every apartment has free/low cost internet connection.” Isn’t the right argument. “Let’s install this so we can be apart of a growing network, then if other residents are interested they can join with their own time investment. This way people have options and a working relationship with management. If this ends up as too much work then the equipment is easily removed.”

Make the argument to opt out and I think you will find that once it’s in place no one will want to put in the time to opt out because the opt-in is all benefit.

I understand what you’re saying and the fiber option could be a later enhancement. I know NYC building management is sometimes difficult but my installs were fun and painless that I’m hard pressed to believe it wasn’t worth it.
Don't use a tool for the sake of it, and I've been using Docker happily for my side-project, it makes it easy to reason about things (for me) and it makes it easy for someone else to reason about my application if I need external help.
If you do it at personal level not representing a company is fine. But this dude thinks mixing politics and work is a good idea...being a VP. Clearly he lacks emotional intelligence or common sense.
