Color Marketing Group's whole business is proposing new color palettes to embody the anticipated zeitgeist. Behold their dreamlike prose:

"Color Marketing Group’s North America 2022 Key Color, New Day, is the color response for a time still in transition.
New Day suggests confidence and familiarity to greet 2022 with a sense of comfort.

"A light, fresh blue with red influences, New Day is an inspiring color designed to convey the classic connotation of hope and new beginnings. …

"As calming as New Day may appear, its red undertone is a stimulation aspect of the color, making it ideal for practically any product application. From commercial to residential spaces, consumer goods to fashion, and graphic design, New Day is a color that stands for truth and hope."

At Costco you don't even have to tell a store associate. They have a stack of cardboard posters with the item on it and you take that to the register
> If they can be installed along with the games under a gaming only account on the Linux machine, that is, with zero permissions on system and other users files around, that's fine with me.

Completely ineffective. It will be trivial to circumvent those protections. Might as well not bother.

The truth is cheaters are merely excersising their computing freedom. It's my computer, the game is merely running on it. If I want to read the game's memory and adjust aim or automate boring parts, it's my prerogative.

In order to prevent any of this, the game company must take over my machine. They must literally own my computer. Anti-cheating software is virtually indistinguishable from malware and there is no situation where this is acceptable. The game company's "needs" are irrelevant.
Wow I love this guy's content (immediately got sidetracked away from the linked page and started reading at a frenetic pace). It is the sort of treasure trove that I am lucky to stumble upon once a year at most.

In fact, reading this stuff really stirred me up. It makes me think of the C.S. Lewis book "Surprised by Joy" which I think described this sort of feeling, but with the feelings in the book sourced from fiction/fantasy works. At least that is what I remember from reading it 7 years ago.

Edit: Trying to think of other websites that I loved like this:

AfroTechMods.com like 20 years ago

Ludens.cl about 10 years ago

...these are hard to think of, but I'm sure it is not a once-a-decade event.
This is exactly my experience too. Sometimes it's incredible just how little applicants understand about how to develop software. I've even interviewed people where they were allowed to have a web browser and IDE while coding a solution, and they still struggled.

Personally I am a much bigger fan of using FizzBuzz as a gate than an algorithm question. I think algorithm questions optimize for the kind of developer who doesn't mind memorizing algorithms to get a job, which might be a useful skill, but you can test that same skill of memorization using FizzBuzz, and then you don't end up also filtering out people who can code but don't care about memorizing algorithms.

In any case, I always think it's worth using their solution as a jumping-off point to ask other, more language-specific questions. Things like: how would you change this if it was intended for use in a FizzBuzz library, how would you annotate this if you needed it to be injected as a Spring dependency, why did you use a for loop instead of a Java 8 stream (or vice versa), what are the implications of declaring this thing as final or static, can you write a unit test for this, and so on. That's when you can get past the point of memorization into figuring out if they actually understand what they typed, which is helpful to ascertain their level.

Holy crap! He's invented the Software Development Team!
That sounds very interesting. Have you documented it somewhere?
Allow me to revive the destroyed comment for the sake of the argument:

> > Hate speech doesn't exist, they made up the term to shut you up.

Sort of, it is difficult to draw the line somewhere because some people will disagree on the 'rules' and definition of what 'hate speech' is.

> Comment was of course flagged. Because this website (like most of the internet), is controlled by the far left. Which seem to sympathize with censorship for whatever reason.

I don't know about that one. But even when I present strong evidence to my claims, follow the guidelines, I still get downvoted without reason or any response as to why.

As for censorship, you know that there are some HNers here who would do anything to defend their companies name; even if it means flagging and downvoting you right?
Huh interesting.. thanks for sharing about bamboohr
Slightly OT, but a week or so ago Instagram decided that I'm in Israel for the purpose of targeted advertising, and their Covid Info Center.

I've no idea why, and no idea how to fix it.

It makes skipping ads easy (anything in Hebrew), but it's mildly disconcerting not knowing what's behind it.
Based on vast capital accumulation to a small cohort [1], I believe they do know how wealth is being created. They're simply improving quality of life for the people doing the actual work. Conversely, its terrifying (at least to me) that there are people who endorse the dystopian status quo.

How many orders of magnitude separate your current cost per ton of limestone from the popular status quo methods?

You're talking about ancillary products and regulatory credits, which is a fine business model; but I'm asking about the core industrial process. Trying to get a sense of how much more efficient your scale-up needs to be, before your process is in the black.
Because it's worth less. I don't understand how it's okay for punishment to have degrees but crime is black and white?
> Organized retail crime costs retailers an average of $719,548 per $1 billion in sales, a 2020 survey from the National Retail Federation found — a nearly 60% increase from 2015.

Interesting way of saying < .1%
Bullshit that the tool manufacturers are going to install bluetooth tech in every device for purely on/off purchases. They are going to track the shit out of that tool, mark my words. Also, it will fail on occasion, likely more than .1% of the time. If they don't want to effect 99.9% of the legit purchasers, they wouldn't be putting this power consuming device tracker in 100% of devices.
Must depend heavily on the state. My numbers were accurate for mine (a middle-low cost of living state) as of earlier this year, for IIRC a "silver" plan. The levels don't—in this state, nor, actually, with most employer plans I've seen that provide coverage options—make much difference in max-out-of-pocket and mostly just shift around how much you'll definitely spend, except the bronze plans (again, in this state) which were just rip-offs even compared to the rest.
A higher chance, yes, but it doesn't matter much; what is tricky with most applications is the domain. Certainly, it's faster to go learn a language than to learn a new domain. To that end, you can get the whole team trained faster in a language than you can hire someone with experience and train them to the domain.

I've witnessed this kind of mislabeling on many occasions. Once I was on a forum chatting about how the reserve banks are controlling everything and also distorting culture and then some random person told me I was "anti-semitic" but I hadn't mentioned Jewish people even once. Religion hadn't even occurred to me as being a factor in my discussion. I told the person that they're the ones who are anti-Semitic for inferring that there is a connection between reserve banking and Judaism.

I've witnessed this behavior in other places and on social media. I don't know what the goal is of this false labeling.
Why would anyone report something if they know nothing will be done about it? Even when the DA prosecutes it's still unlikely reporting it will do much good.

My car has been broken into twice in the last few months in front of my house. The last thing I want to do is wait for an officer to come by 4 hours later to tell me there isn't anything he can do.
Outlook Web Access was developed in 1995 and release with Exchange 5 in 1997. The invented XMLHttpRequest to do it and it later became the W3C standard and the cornerstone of AJAX.
Are you asking why would you need to read the article that is up for discussion?
Did that change recently? Prosecution tactics may have changed, to even get to the that point the police have to be willing to investigate.

I don't think I've ever seen a big city PD investigate "petty" property crime unless there was something unique about the case, like a gun being involved.

So the stats being compared to have the same limitation

How Games Workshop grew to become more profitable than Google
Around here in <some European country>, they do this quite often with stuff that tends to get stolen (video games and such) and stuff that they must not sell to children (like razor blades).

You just get a bit of cardboard from the aisle, and either the cashier gives you the item when you pay, or you retrieve it from a counter, showing the receipt.

It’s actually quite mind-boggling that their conclusion from their risk analysis is to get this high-tech solution with potentially much worse user experience, than the foolproof low-tech one that just involves them paying one more bloke.

So are you saying humans are super-natural?
The most obvious fix is to make employers offer the same benefits (prorated by hours worked) for all employees.

That’d radically change the structure of the health insurance industry, since working full time hours by combining two part time jobs would imply that you’d get health insurance just like full time workers at either company.

Section 213 is what you want to look at. It’s not really a matter of choice but industry, role, and hourly rate that determines if someone is considered exempt.

If you think of 'great' in the 'big impact' sense rather than 'unequivocally good' sense, then it holds.

Most complaints I hear about using Linux for gaming are that it can't run games. With anti-cheat it will be able to run games (all of the top ten and most of the top 100).

The principles of allowing Anti-Cheat at all are a valid discussion, but I don't think we should be sabotaging Linux as a viable gaming platform just because some of the trends in software at the moment aren't in line with absolute ideals.

After all, if you don't want anti-cheat you can just continue to not play the games that require it.
Decades ago the U.S. tied healthcare to employment. It had some big positives at the time. I think it has proven to have more negatives as time has unfolded. Here is one of them.

If you reduce hours per worker by, say, 10% you just pay each worker 10% less and hire 10% more workers, right? It's not so simple. If you try to cut the health insurance premium of each worker by 10% the policy becomes unattractive. If you keep the same policy, you increase your health insurance costs by 10%.

For this and other reasons, it's time to separate health insurance from employer.
Same with MacBooks? Sorry this sounds like utter nonsense.
Point taken. Since someone from Brave jumped in, I gave my (long) opinion on the topic as a reply to their comment.
{:pre [(de/entity? entity)]}

is "syntactic sugar" for

(hash-map (keyword "pre") (vector (de/entity? entity)))

while

(.getAttribute mount "data")

is calling the method `.getAttribute` on the `mount` object – since it's a Lisp, it's in prefix notation. It also highlights how methods are not special and just functions that receive the object as first argument.

Finally,

@*post

is the same as

(deref *post)

and the `*` means nothing to the language – any character is valid on symbol names, the author just chose an asterisk.

Most of what you believe to be syntax are convenience "reader macros" (https://clojure.org/reference/reader), and you can extend with your own. You can write the same code without any of it, but then you'll have more "redundant" parenthesis.

BlackRock – Aladdin Wealth | New York, NY / San Francisco, CA | Full-time ONSITE, VISA | Front-end Software Engineer / Back-end Software Engineer

We have 4 positions available immediately on my team building Aladdin Wealth (https://www.blackrock.com/aladdin/products/aladdin-wealth), a revenue-generating FinTech SaaS product for the wealth management industry. We apply BlackRock's sophisticated risk analytics to millions of individual investors' portfolios to help them and their financial advisors create better portfolios. We have live production clients in countries around the world and we process and analyze millions of real customer portfolios using Spark on a daily basis.

The front-end roles are focused on our web apps building out new features and better user experiences in React framework. We're looking for people who are super proficient in React/ES6/TypeScript and want to work with and leverage modern tools and techniques to the fullest. Front-end team also works on and owns various Java-based application servers, so there is a full-stack component, as well, but it leans more to the frontend side.

The back-end roles are for experienced engineers to architect, develop, and deploy scalable services and APIs. We work with a wide array of technologies (Java, Scala, Kotlin, Spark, Hadoop, Cassandra, Solr, Python), but solid Java is the backbone.

In all of the roles, diving deep into the business, learning Aladdin, portfolio management, investment analytics (factor risk models, VaR, tracking error, historical scenarios, etc), and the wealth management industry, will be a big part of your success. I lead the global team that is hiring these roles. Full job descriptions and application instructions at below links, but you can reach out to me directly if interested: msahn@blackrock.com

Agreed. Also, why have different sentences, anyway? Either you get punish or you don't. Just have the death penalty for everything.
you gotta fish where the fish are
I have a 4 day workweek and that made me the most efficient version of myself as I have to do the same amount of work but in less time, and I'm loving it, having 3 days weekends is amazing and every Monday I have lots of energy for the week.
This incentivizes employers to pay more per hour, otherwise people won’t work reduced hours for the same rate
I'm cheering because this will mean more people can use Linux as a daily gaming driver. I see that as a good thing, albeit with trade-offs.
