I've gone through three potties and never bought or sold any (we got them for free and then gave them away).

Most of our baby stuff comes (and goes) that way. We rarely bought baby stuff at all except for consumables (and even those we gave away when we didn't use them all up, like diapers).

The big issue is that it requires a social circle of people also having kids that are slightly older and younger, and for a lot of people in bigger cities, it's hard for them to build those circles.

There are online forums that help (non-sarcistic Thanks Facebook!) but it's a lot easier if you have a wide social circle already.
Interesting. I'm understanding there is major value in prioritizing the thought/idea that you want to capture before deciding how it should be organized. I actually love that. Just downloaded it.

I received my copy yesterday! Any plans for a hardcover instead of a paperback? Just lies nicer on a table and doesn't wear of as fast.
Fantastic, thank you for the links.
Counterpoint: in Thailand, I was surprised to see the sheer amount of single use plastic. Tiny plastic bags put inside larger plastic bags. Individually wrapped candies put inside larger bags. And of course the usual plastic sleeves around all utensils.
Nice list. Check if asking about salary history is banned. It is in 21 states. https://www.hrdive.com/news/salary-history-ban-states-list/5...
There are some tools, but in general it is easier to do so manually---you can alter the code when the picture doesn't seem to fit in the template, while tools generally can't.
I'm starting to see primers in some online stores. Nice to see them coming back.

Yeah, I thought this was a library for app developers to build on, like Skia.

But people are saying it's meant to inject code into existing processes.

The heck is it?

I hope any companies that adopt this product agree with you on this point. But in case they don't, I still think it's important to urge Cloudflare to make this product accessible.

It's not a matter of agreeing; it's a matter of the US govt is saying these are the rules for doing commerce or hiring employees in the US. As codified by the ADA. Post domino case, that clearly applies to company websites.
Pedantic is for the older C++ standard, its not pedantic for the latter e.g c++11, I think this changed.
Hi Oliver, sorry but you seem to be missing the point
It’s much less sinister than that. Facebook funds PhDs in some fields because they want experts in that field to a) exist, b) like Facebook.
I don't think most people at the IC/engineering level would choose that culture, but once they're in and inundated into that environment, how many are going to propagate it out of habit? That's the risk.
Will you please DM your LinkedIn URL to @AllesistKode on Twitter?

Also most european countries have campaign budget limitations, so campaign contributions don't have that much weight to begin with.
That is indeed a more accurate statement.
Like the parent poster, when I read the article I assumed that there was no conceivable reason to ever use this feature in a real C program. Let me just say that I'm pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong!
Yes, criticizing any profession is actually violence.
Which just makes it worse. And then there are commutes and so on to add to that.

But I wanted to state the minimum typical requirement, and show it's bad enough already.
An interesting corollary is that certain types of business are no longer economically viable. If I have a business that competes with advertising companies for niche talent, my business model has to be able to generate the same outsized returns on that talent if I want to be able to afford them, so this limits the work I can do.

I don't think people should work for below market wages, only observing how it can change what kinds of products and services are available. And in the case of tech talent, salaries are being driven up by a few key industries that arguably are not where society would like to see tech product and r&d investment concentrated.
I have personally experienced this (with two job changes in the pandemic) however I am noticing new career switchers devs are still struggling as always.

I’ve run a mid level successful coding Instagram account for 10 months now and still hear the same problems from many new devs or just getting noticed.

I think this is reflected in my book addressing the problem hitting number 7 on product hunt last week.

Moral of the story, still give genuine advice to newbies as they aren’t always feeling the same love from the market.
The Lost Cat Art of Ithaca, NY
The only bullshit part of the saying is that there will be a single year where this convergence will happen. When in truth it has already happened. Linux has great desktop choices for those who would like to use Linux. Those of us who do have moved over to the OS and probably haven't looked back, nor are they looking to bring the general public into it. If the general public wants the plastic toy OS experience then let them burn with that ship. I've spent a lot of time advocating for the move to Linux and more open source systems and voting with your wallet in the computer landscape that my general position is now to talk to someone about it and when they're upset with the status quo, I'll be on the other side saying "I told you so." Then I usually end up helping people when they come back to me.

Furthermore, the commandline is a core part of the computer experience in my book. Just because Apple, Google, Microsoft want you to live on the internet doesn't mean it has to go away or have a friendlier alternative. There will always be a divide between people who have an interest in computers and willingness to learn them and people who just want to like buy something off Amazon. The latter will probably never use Linux no matter how popular it is on their phone or desktop.
I like Cloudflare, because it provides some very essential services with free tiers. It is big enough, so I can trust them. I can be sure that they won't inject ads into my HTML pages. I can be sure that their DNS will not replace NXDOMAIN with fake ad responses. I can be sure that they won't log my VPN traffic trying to extract passwords or something like that.

For sure I don't support their decision to ban blind users and hope to see that resolved. But that's not enough to change my mind, not even remotely.
If companies (specifically management) were actually competent, they would know that it takes $20k-$40k to fill one position, $80k-$100k for that individual to optimistically ramp up to an existing employees productivity. All this takes at least 1 year.

Instead of the time and money spent, they could easily boost the compensation of an existing employee by $25k and not lose money or time.

But of course, nobody ever claimed that management is competent.
Q: How do you know whether someone is vegan?

A: They write an article and submit it to Hacker News.
Select the best-looking roles from the contacts you get, then audition the recruiters. Depending on your experience, this may mean relying on your gut. It also means meeting in person if possible, or at least on the phone. You want synchronous communications and the highest semantic bandwidth you can get. If they won't give you half an hour, that alone is a huge red flag. There's some other pointers in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28029857
The Reason Foundation (which is slightly right leaning of center, but makes its case using actual studies and facts) has a great explainer on how plastic bag bans for example hurt the environment more than help and cost consumers (including low income individuals) an extra $1b/yr: https://reason.org/wp-content/uploads/files/california_plast...
I use counsel-jq occasionally, and my main issue with it is the single line input. As soon as the filtering is not trivial, it's much more convenient to be able to use multiple lines.
I actually like coming here, because whenever I see comments that aren’t nice towards others, I can simply say so. Sometimes you get downvoted, but usually not.
Streak (YC S11) hiring a senior front end engineer (remote only)
Accept offer A. Receive offer B. If offer B > offer A, let company A know something has come up and you cannot continue employment. Accept offer B.

Lather, rinse, repeat for each offer. The better offer may be salary, perks, or just better work conditions. I once left a company after working there for 9 days because I got an offer working with my friend. I didn't even get a better salary and my friend ended up leaving after 3 months..
I agree, however you do end up participating in it, you get used to it, and you bring it with you. That's the fear anyways. I think it's a little bit true. Facebook has similarly nutty PIP ("PSC") culture, and you see it from ex-Facebook folks who run other organizations once they leave.

I have seen recruiters red-flag FB/IG managers, depending on why they're leaving FB/IG for this reason. Engineers less so but it definitely comes up in the interview process. It comes up the other way too, when I interview - particularly senior - FB engineers, their first question is "tell me about your PSC culture."
Absolute drivel. Lack of an appropriate and evolving structure in a growing organisation promotes chaos, miscommunication, and - probably the worst of these - cliques. You structure your organisation around the needs of the business and its markets, and you structure the touchpoints you need for feedback from those markets into that - you need to be intentional about all of this because it doesn't just magically happen.

I can't help but feel I know a lot of people this article refers to.

I've worked at some great companies with some great people and I certainly will again in the future. But my experience also contains burnout amounts of internal politics, radioactive code, Kylo Rens, "I'm just the ideas guy", et cetera. People love to glamorize it with foozeball tables and free pop machines, but in the end it's pretty stressful work for a lot of people and comes with few guarantees of employment stability or sanity. I'm not even going to get into what's happening at Blizzard right now, why would I want to work there? Do I want to listen to my friends yell at me because I work for the social network turning their grandparents into anti-science zealots? Do I want to be forced to live in a city I don't want to live in? These aren't salary problems for me.

A perfectly reasonable person may take their chances on a different profession, or downsizing their life, moving to a less expensive place and requiring less income, working on a small startup with their friend. Or living in a van and hiking a lot, which is a lot cheaper and probably also a lot more gratifying than an expensive apartment in a suburb of Expensive Tech Town. Perhaps the chaos, uncertainty, and mortality of the last year has simply made people re-consider their lives and professions. It's what a large percentage of my tech heroes ended up doing (I miss you all, but I understand).

From my experience, I would recommend these companies focus on creating environments that work for and reward sane people on a long term basis, rather than just try to coat over their problems with money. It's a far more better strategy for the people one would actually want to hire than trying to dump raw salary on people for six months until they're too broken to show up to work, then hiring new people that don't understand the code to clean up the mess. When I do startups, being a place people want to work is the only choice we can provide because we just can't out-compete most groups on salary anyways.
This may sound weird but it's easier to do this when you don't need it. When we're negotiating, people can smell desperation. If you can easily walk away from a negotiation/offer, you're suddenly in a much more powerful position.

Once you're there, figure out how much sounds like a lot and ask for even more. Either they'll surprise you and accept the terms, or you will negotiate "down" to the amount that sounded like a lot. Worst case scenario, they don't take the deal and you reject them to go find a new negotiation until you get what you want
For what it's worth, I've known Matthew for many years. Although I wouldn't at all say we're close, I feel like I've had enough conversation to know who he is. Matthew is a good guy, I've never considered him to be tone deaf, and I genuinely believe he has the best interest of the many at his core. That said, the credence given to the visually impaired across the industry is categorically, absolutely, abysmally awful. I've never taken it as seriously as I should in my career, near all decision makers I know don't take it as seriously as they should, and I think shame on me and shame on everyone else. Things should be easier for visually impaired people, a) because it's the right thing to do and b) because it's low hanging fruit. While I don't think Matthew is unique, I do think he has a particularly significant responsibility given how important his technology is. As a shareholder, a friend, and a customer: I hope he takes this seriously, and I suspect he would.
My employer's open office is so loud. They literally just built a new one, bragged about how great the design is, and it has the same problems as the old one.

How am I suppose to work when I can hear every sound made by 100 other people?

At least divide things up into team size rooms.
Hi, thx for the comment. For options trading it's certainly not a fraction of a cent..

I do agree though that DIY approach to investing is more advantageous than going with mutual funds that charge fund fees.
applies to most open source ux, because noone is allowed to take command which also does a good job of it.

blender is a notable exception, though.
A Thunderbolt 5 controller would probably have a PCIe 4.0 x4 (64 Gbps) connection to the host.
> Some even included it in their advertising.

I'm really curious what the language/spin was to make that something that was included in the advertising.
>The people chasing "this season's fashion" are rather niche.

The people who consciously chace "this season's fashion" are niche [1].

But even more so, people who are bombarded with messages to buy new clothes, and that this style is now obsolete, get this instead, are pretty much everybody though.

[1] Though not that small of a niche: a big percentage of women do it quite a lot (as evident by the success of that side of the fashion industry and peripheral industries like accessories, perfumes, cosmetics, and such), and men have increasingly being doing it ever since the 80s too, especially if we include things like sneakers and so on).

As someone wrote, it's not like 250 million Americans, men and women, each individually by themselves, decided bell-bottoms are a good idea some year in the 70s...
My last place would talk about agile approaches while having a very obviously waterfall project plan time line up on the screen.

Yet you still eat meat. It’s fucking appalling how easy it is to placate ourselves by rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Your response to GP is based on the C++ reference and his explicitly is based on the C standard. Your assertion that ‘ [t]he details of that allocation are implementation-defined but all non-static data members will have the same address (since C++14)’ seems to directly conflict with the C11 standard. Also, your closing comment about std::variant is clearly only applicable to C++. I am just curious why you are using C++ when the article and GP are specifically addressing C?
As someone who's been shot at and had people try to blow him up, I question how frequently the PTSD label is given out by therapists these days.
Reminds me of a quote from the WeWork documentary:
"When you can land two rockets concurrently on barges and you smoke pot, you're seen as 'quirky and likeable'. When you don't go public and your investors lose money, all of a sudden they decide that smoking pot is a criminal activity."

This complexity does not come from "coding is hard" and developers writing "basic elements from scratch".

It all comes from requirements that business has and that world is complex.

I am just re-reading "No Silver Bullet – Essence and Accident in Software Engineering" by Fred Brooks. Everything that I am writing about is not simply my ideas, but something that is understood in the industry. That developers more and more don't address accidental complexity but essential complexity that is those 10% that you mention.

Even if that was written in 1987 - I totally agree with what is written there, because there is no General AI in sight that would do what you expect. All of it is even more so true with all the things I mentioned earlier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet
It's debatable. Tiktok like other social media could be actually causing harm by a) being addictive, b) causing mental health issues, c) ruining your brain reward system, d) giving you adhd, possibly.

Once you start scrolling there, it is very difficult to stop, and I have tried it, but I don't think at least for me, it would add any actual value to my life even if I can't stop myself from using the app.

There's other entertainment, that I would think is more healthy, meaningful and can improve you as a person, so any time spent on Tiktok, I think is straying away from that other type of media.

So Tiktok definitely has impact, but I don't see how this impact is more positive as compared to say reading books or similar, which could potentially also provide infinite entertainment, but I also improve your brain
> What is actually different?

They are the other party--a market maker isn't (outside of the "designated market makers" I referenced earlier) a special participant in trading, they're just like you or me.

If I put a limit order in to buy at 3332.95, and someone takes it, I now have one stock. If I put in a limit order to sell at 3333.05, I sell that stock and make a dime. In aggregate, if I'm doing that many many times, and the price stays roughly around 3333, I'm making a dime on every round trip.

A "market maker" just means that I don't really care about investing or speculating, all I'm really in for is to collect that dime on the round-trip and sit at the bid/ask spread.

> Also are you saying that the market maker dictates the bid ask spread and not the highest bidder/lowest seller

No, as you've said, the highest bidder/lowest seller set the bid/ask spread. It's just, in any high volume market, chances are the incidental traders that want to improve the best offer clear very quickly--at any given point the market is probably going to clear until you hit the market makers. By definition, they're the folks willing to wait it out.

That said, market makers can compete with each other--if you are more ambitious than your competition, you might be willing to improve (narrow the spread) on your competitors. You'll make money by filling trades that they will miss out, but on the other hand, you're getting less spread and less profit per-trade. If that lower profit doesn't cover the statistical risk of losses from price movements, then you won't be profitable. The bid/ask spread narrows or widens based on the interactions of all market participants, just, if a particular instrument looks very risky, the market makers, acting as backstops, might want more money in the form of spread to warrant trading.

In practice, the most liquid instrument in the market these days trade pretty close to the minimum spread all of the time--high-frequency market makers are very efficient and so you rarely have to pay more than a penny to cross the spread. As a result, it's also not terribly profitable to make markets, since you're only earning a penny per round-trip for the risk you have to take.

(Compared to say, real estate, where the "bid/ask spread" is basically unknown and has to be discovered through the very expensive agent mechanism.)
The post is about C, not C++. My comment stands, as the original post has two structs in a union, and they start the same way, so it’s exactly the case covered in the C11 Standard.
Lately Google has mostly stopped revoking whole devices. Instead, when someone extracts a key from a device and it leaks publicly, they just revoke that one specific device's key. That improves the experience for legitimate users, but also means the person who extracted the key can just go buy another device of the same model and use the same exploit to extract a new working key.
I'm in the US and tried donating our child's potty chair. The donation spots I tried refused it because they weren't allowed to take anything which a child has to sit in or on for safety reasons. I even tried Value Village, which is a private second-hand store, and got the same response.

Into the garbage it went, sadly.

Burroughs' father immediately posted the $2,500 bail, while Kerouac's father refused to pay and let Jack stay at the Bronx jail.

"it's a great choice for those who would like it" seems a bit tautological, it it ever possible for that to be false?
Lobbying in general is way more corrupt in Europe than in US. In the US the fact that professional lobbyists exist,
puts pressure on non official operations and makes it easier to track registered lobbyists. This does not make US based activities less censurable, but in Europe the current model is one of voluntary registration.

Google based lobbying actions in the European Union are no less intense: 249 meetings!
Its amazing how much time EU officials seem to have.

Nope, I wouldn't necessarily say that. Just as there's many people who don't acknowledge the spiritual in their model of the world, there's many, many people who do very real magick using nothing more than the commonly acknowledged laws of physics! We generally call them scientists and engineers. And the kind of magick they customarily deal in (known, somewhat conventionally, as "natural magick") is probably the most powerful of all, at least wrt. its effects on the purely physical plane. Other, more spiritual kinds of magick then act in a strictly subsidiary role, to "fill in the gaps" and "augment" this work in ways that aren't generally overt or amenable to be described by some outward "law". I realize that this description will probably seem very frustrating to you if you're inclined to very literal thinking, but that's how this stuff works. It's silly and childish to expect that "spiritual" magick will ever substitute for effective science and engineering.
Why would you hear of people getting covid if the government is suppressing it? They would have just heard of people getting the flu or having allergies.
