That's my experience. I own a fork of Slate and Slate plugins that I've been doing my best to maintain, as well as a wrapper: https://github.com/roast-cms/french-press-editor. My project is small enough not to have bandwidth to upgrade Slate or switch to another editor but popular enough to keep alive and maintain two years past the version release I solidified. The implementation I have isn't very buggy, I've used it almost every day and have over a hundred users who successfully used it as well. There was only one time when a serious bug surfaced, the rest being minor inconveniences. This is the implementation: https://www.analog.cafe/write/draft
Miami is gonna have a huge lawsuit on their hands from gross police misconduct. Video was just released Monday. This is what they are funding when they say, "Fund the police." Looks like there's about 15 people beating that surrendering and probably handcuffed guy up. They want to raise it to 17 on the next incident?

Thanks for submitting issue(s). The motivation of updating "The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide" was for educational purpose. I agree with the idea to mention new kernel features such as Devicetree.
Mid-level as in high end L4, low end L5.

i.e. 1-2 promotions from new grad level you can get to 300k total compensation (including salary, stock, and bonus) from most FAANG.

So, yes.
I checked them.

I'm also aware of overshoot day. It's not completely terrible as a metric, but it's based on shoddy data, and in the end simply shows that we are not raw material efficient enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Overshoot_Day#Criticism

Carrying capacity only makes sense for a given technology.

> At some point, our resource usage WILL fall down UNDER the line of globally available renewable resources. The longer we wait, the LOWER we will need to back down.

That will likely take thousands of years. Just solar and batteries can go a very very very long way. Especially if we consider that it seems the human population is going to peak after every region goes through the usual development phases (education, health, more choices for women, more economic freedom).

> They enabled the "great acceleration" by providing almost limitless energy, and doing without them is a tremendous, unprecedented effort.

Yep, and now we're likely switching back. It'll not be easy, but a collapse (big reduction in population) is very unlikely.

> Notice that we never "switched" from an energy source to another: we piled them up

Yes and no. For example we stopped burning wood for energy. We stopped burning wood for potash. Coal plants reached the point that it's uneconomical to run them in developed economies.

> It's literally an unprecedented challenge, particularly at the global scale we're talking about.

Yes, agreed. But there's nothing fundamentally preventing it. Humans are pretty much known for these sudden huge Earth-wide changes. Roads, cars, planes. Churning out war stuff.

Of course the possibility that we stubbornly refuse to allocate the required resources, dig in, and make the situation a lot worse is there. But since there's at least some minimal "rationality forcing" in climate change (meaning, that the stubborn denialist ones tend to face worse problems) it's likely that eventually people will be incentivized to allocate those resources.
Superhuman Raises $75 Million For Its Waitlist-Only Email Productivity App
Free trials are paused, not the project.
This is great news for me! Around 8 months ago I built a chess website using Phoenix (heavily using LiveView) and TailwindCSS. My two biggest complaints were exactly what you said:

1. LiveViews were kind of weird to fit in, as they were a separate format

2. Webpack was the bain of my existence, it was slow and hard to figure out as a first time webdev

Glad to hear this is being fixed! Looks like I'm going to have to go back and update the site
Why Immigrants Are More Likely to Become Entrepreneurs
Oh, I think the pool is a lot larger than that. I've seen pretty good industry hiring representation at a bunch of first-and-second-tier non-Ivies, includes UCSD, Washington, Waterloo, Purdue, Chicago, UTexas, UCLA, and a lot of others. (And similarly, the company base is a lot broader than just FAANG.)

I bet there's a set of 20 or so schools, though, that make up a disproportionate amount of those high-paying jobs, though certainly the long tail is very long.
I mean I get it. I got to know somewhere that something I’m interested in buying exists. However, there has to be a better system then tracking my every move online and then force-feeding me ads about crappy products that I don’t like or worse, outright scams. I even watch videos on youtube about products I’m interested in VOLUNTARILY. How is this a billion dollar industry?
Vaccination in NY/NYC is easily proven. Picture of your vaccine card is sufficent and there's also the excelsior pass which is a QR code. Super easy to get from a city/state website after entering a few details (think name, when your last vaccine was, which vaccine etc).

This can be downloaded as an image, into apple wallet etc. For those who chose not to, they can stick to carrying around their vaccine card (just as anyone carries around an ID, cash, credit card, cell phone, mask, etc) or just keep a picture of it on their phone

The vaccine is free for everyone, so there's very little discrimination there. In NY there are plenty of sites to go to where you can walk in and be out today in under an hour. Likely half an hour.

As to the privacy, yes, that's a fair concern but its literally no different than having to get a vaccine to travel to certain countries. Data exposed is minimal and not that much more than what would be gathered showing your ID when buying alcohol which contains your name, dob, address, etc. Far more personal information then if I'm vaxxed.

Those who are ineligible for the vaccine (due to age mostly now) I don't think are subject to this. Most people with medical conditions are still able to get vaxxed. If not, they especially should not be going out. Those who are vaxxed and also immunocompromised have far less protection as well compared to their peers who aren't immunocompromised.

Anyone over the minimum age qualifies for the vaccine.

If people at this point are willfully choosing not to get vaccinated tough luck. Its absurd and they shouldn't be allowed to prevent those of us who care about each other and the community from enjoying life again.
This isn't the case. People read about salaries in the UK, and they are usually referring to one of the big tech cities.

In reality, most tech jobs are the small web-shops or big-name consultancy sweatshops (one particular example is Edinburgh, huge market for tech jobs, there are quite a few startups now but the tech industry ten years ago, the period when the OP occurred, it was mostly sweatshops...and still is to a large extent, large companies who open up an office but labour is cheap, and will head off to Eastern Europe if wages rise). Starting salaries under £20k are not unusual in the UK, and startups are still definitely the exception outside London. In particular, the market for grads in the UK is very difficult...it is very, very hard to get your first job because there are lots of scammy companies offering slavery wages, lots of consultancies looking to churn staff, and a relatively small number of decent companies that often aren't particularly good at hiring (or willing to train, or willing to take risks...the UK job market is flexible relative to Europe but not flexible enough that employers don't view hiring someone as a big risk...because it is).

To say this another way, the UK does have some startups where you can make decent money...but the core of the industry that employs most people is just like Europe (because the UK still isn't very well-developed outside London).
I was listening to a podcast by Amjad Masad of Replit. Listen to him explain how Replit works.

That's a 10x engineer to me.
I am super stoked about all the other companies working on solutions to the debris problem, and see this problem as too important to leave to any single entity / team (including ourselves!). What differentiates us from some of the other ideas is our overall approach to vehicle design. Besides robot arms, or other capture mechanisms what are we fundamentally trying to do? Move things around. What is the key design parameter for moving things around in space? dV. Our approach to optimizing for this number is unique (more on that another time, can't spoil all the fun just yet!). Our team will move rapidly, copying the Elon playbook approach to building hardware which I'm quite familiar with (8.5 year SpaceX veteran). In regards to hiring, next month we'll begin our hiring ramp so keep an eye on the site if you are interested!
It's kind of an "be grateful for what you have because so many people have it worse" argument.
Wall Street. Management Consulting. Commercial Real Estate. The job doesnt have to pay a lot, but the pay needs to cover housing for the region where the job is located.

Nice to assume that would be a problem for Facebook.
I think, a few more bets in the projects like - https://arpa-e.energy.gov/technologies/projects/next-generat... - may have a chance of yielding solutions. But it is not going to happen by itself.

And orbital infrastructure... Sounds impractical. Even if somehow possible, it'd be risky to have a dependency on such infrastructure. Fragile and susceptible to so many risks.
Well on the surface it might seem like it but there's a huge amount of nuance here. What happens if the act of writing these IOUs creates a situation where economic activity can happen that creates real wealth (or destroys real wealth)? This hints at one of the crucial dynamics when debt interacts with money which is that the value of money is not constant over time in a debt-based monetary system.
The US is over represented on most "top N" rankings of best STEM universities. I'd guess that this leads to a lot of foreign students wanting to go to US grad schools, and that this is why engineering programs have so many foreign students rather than it being due to some shortage of US students wanting to go into those fields.

When I was a regular FB user I understood when I share stuff with friends that it might be visible to their browser extensions. Ubt I feel your comment is sort of misdirection as the purpose of the browser extension was to collect information on ads in peoples feed. Advertisers might show up in your feed, but that doesn't mean they're your friends, even if you consented to receive ads by signing up with a petition organizer or political campaign.
I’ve been wondering lately if you could use little puffs of gas fired from a satellite at very high velocity to impact smaller debris and take some kinetic energy from it.

It sounds ridiculous but v^2 scales quickly and if you can achieve anything close to the exhaust velocity from ion thrusters combined with retrograde orbit you can start knocking on the door of 100km/s impact velocity. That’s ~5J per microgram.

Obviously a tremendous number of challenges (puff coherency over great distances, accuracy over same, stationkeeping, etc) but interesting to me nonetheless.
Show HN: Give and Receive Anonymous Feedback
Hi HN,

I've often found it difficult to receive candid feedback from colleagues and employees. Many online tools require you to sign up which seems unnecessary and the platform we have at work doesn't allow for anonymity. I built this site to provide a super simple way to give and receive anonymous feedback (and test out my Django/webdev skills). Let me know what you think!
Are you sure the problem isn’t the financial disenfranchisement?
> The US has also agreed that ...

Wasn't it shown the US has broken it's previous promises to the UK government about other people that have been extradited? eg medical care, housing, etc.

Being that's the case, it doesn't really make any sense to believe these promises would be upheld either.
Props for the source AND page number.

How to use call for contract function calls and payments in Solidity
Hey, Alex here. I'm excited to share Hookdeck along with my co-founders Eric and Maurice. It's a product we started working on after dealing with my fair share of webhook-related issues (missed webhooks, time-consuming troubleshooting) at our previous employers.

Incoming webhooks are challenging because they require a well-built (and often complex) asynchronous system, and they are never a priority until they break. We were left with two options when I was building webhooks integrations: implement my own infrastructure to handle webhooks (ingestion, queuing, processing, monitoring, and alerting) or ignore the problem altogether and suffer from intermittent, often undiagnosable, failures.

We've found that's it's entirely possible to offer a platform-agnostic webhook infrastructure to consume webhooks reliably. Specifically, Hookdeck acts as a push queue to your HTTP endpoints. Webhooks are ingested by highly available services and go through an event lifecycle that manages webhook delivery. That allows Hookdeck to maintain a log of all events and delivery attempts, perform custom retry logic, routes webhooks to multiple destinations and even apply filters to received events. Hookdeck focuses on ingestion reliability, visibility and error recovery.

It's a satisfying space to work in, as webhooks are now commonly relied upon by most web-based technical teams, and the tooling around them has been lackluster - we have the ambition to change that. I'll be around to answer any questions!
I could have been clearer. I agree with you [in that I wouldn't have personally delayed], but I think a substantial fraction of the college-bound crowd made that tradeoff calculation.
I mentioned "a computer" to highlight the fact that the person was never physically in "country C", but you're right that in this specific case the jurisdictional questions are made more complicated by the (alleged) involvement of an accomplice who was physically present in country C.

I suppose, from the prosecution's perspective, the involvement of an accomplice may make the jurisdictional questions more simple, but I still think that if a computer has been accessed illegally and classified government documents have been leaked by a citizen, all with the help of a non-citizen, then at least some people would find it bizarre if the non-citizen wasn't considered legally culpable.
See the the Caesar franchise (Caesar IV, 2006). You have to hire tax collectors, set taxes, and yes you also have a separate income as a governor. It does all of this.
Without knowing the problem it’s hard to say if they were right or wrong to do that.
It's putting a scarlet letter on these people and shaming them for making their own choice about their own bodies.

I think we've determined from other issues that "separate but equal" isn't actually equal. That absolutely applies here.
Couple this with the questionable junk they're always advertising too. Even when they do advertise correctly it's not anything I would ever consider buying. I left the platform last year and haven't looked back, it's a time suck/waste all around.
Glad I left LA last September. I can't believe NYC is going even more extreme than there, but they are. The good news, is my home purchase down here in Charleston is up 10% in only 3 months. This ridiculousness in CCP NYC will only help ensure my home price goes through the roof. So, yes, if you want to live in a place that respects your right to choose what you do with your body and your life, come on down south. Just don't bring your bad policies down here with you is all the locals ask :)
> the US government will let him serve his sentence in an Australian prison

This just creates a situation where a criminal is deported to their home nation with an agreememt with said nation that they serve their prison time there. Nothing really that bizare at all.
I don't have much problem with a mandate, but I think you are missing a reason someone might be against one. A vaccine will protect the vast majority of people from bad outcomes if they themselves get it. There is strengthening evidence that vaccinated people can still be very infectious and a big danger to the unvaccinated. Therefore if you believe that governments should be parsimonious in their regulation of people's activities, mandating a vaccine that doesn't particularly protect anyone but the person who gets it might be an example of government overreach. We let people smoke after all. If you believe that the vaccine will protect others (and I hope it does, despite some recent concerning studies) then it is more defensible to mandate it.

Basically, I would hope mandates like this are done on the science instead of on the hope that if we're all very good citizens and get our shots we will somehow be rewarded with protection from the big bad virus and an end to the pandemic.
Good Design is Imperfect Design, Part 1: Honest Names
Being a github project one could argue the title of the post should have been the repository description, which is too long for HN's limit, unless you expect people to change their repository descriptions just so they fit on hacker news i think it's fair to "editorialize" the title.
I see that, however I was referring to children comments of the initial comment in this thread, and not the submission itself.
I like XIRR to get an actual sense of what my annualized portfolio performance looks like.

Pretty much every bank, brokerage, or financial software I've used is "dumb" and will a) count deposits as growth, b) show total lifetime growth, and/or c) ignore deposits.

XIRR allows me to better benchmark portfolio performance by accounting for when I deposit (or withdraw) money so I can clearly say, "I'm earning X% per year."

Schwab is terrible at this. "You gained 5% today!" No, I didn't, I deposited $1,000 into my brokerage account.
Those vaccines have had years of use behind them. The coronavirus mRNA vaccines are a completely new technology and haven't even been given anything past emergency approval. This is an apples and oranges comparison.
I read that article, maybe .. maybe they wised up during the last 2 years.
No, I get that... and there is a different level between hobbyist projects and larger production projects. Using the existing PoE "infrastructure" makes a lot of sense in the prototyping stages.

But if you're already going through the process to build custom boards for a cluster, then a backplane makes much more sense. We're not talking about a small 4-5 RPi cluster where everything can work off of a single PoE gigabit switch with a rat's nest of cat6. This project is talking about 16 of these blades in a 1U chassis. If you're going to go that far, a backplane isn't a big leap and would save power, space, and make cabling much easier.
It's yet another indication that what they're doing is fundamentally a terrible idea and should be outlawed.

Another is that private companies holding massive databases of info about everyone is barely better than the government doing the same, if you're more worried about government abuse than private abuse of data. Many companies can and do sell access to governments, and of course warrants & other orders exist.

(yes, this also applies to the "credit bureaus", banks, and all sorts of other companies that hoard and sell all kinds of creepy stalker data about people)

i like your hobby. i agree fewer parts is part of the definition of simplicity. i'd suggest "predictability" fits somewhere in the definition as well, in the sense that when you make a change to the system you can predict the outcome or side-effects; also, a person reasoning from first (or fewer assumptions) will have an easier time predicting the design of the system

Sure. Anyone want to purchase my vested Series A company RSUs?

Lets be fair -- FAANG isnt complaining about lack of talent -- mostly smaller pre-IPO or early stage firms are complaining, which is why my original comment noted "non-public companies". Your view is correct only for public companies and a handful of private companies which have an active market to liquidate stock and options.
This is not a surprise. same reasons why the armed forces, west point, and police academies seek younger people: there are many benefits, some of those being:

more malleable

faster learning (studies show working memory falls with age)

not weighed down by family and other obligations

flexible hours due to fewer obligations

no 'baggage'

no old, ingrained habits
Totally agreed. And the silly thing is that it's not the unvaccinated people demanding mask mandates, it's only (some of) the vaccinated people, for whom it would produce at best a tiny decrease in risk.

Pointing out a slippery slope doesn’t mean it isn’t worth considering the consequences.

My position is indeed speculative, however it’s not without evidence. We very rarely regain rights or freedoms when they are taken so I think it’s valid to be concerned about the same thing happening here.
Anyone have realistic or actual job postings that pay 300-600k vs. something off of levels.fi? I've been in this field for 15 years and have had some good gigs on my resume, not currently looking around but this pay rate is way outside what seems to be the norm.

Unless you're some kind of expert in "big data" / Tensorflow / PyTorch / statistical wizard that is the current hotness, it seems a bit crazy to be making this kind of money for high end cloud / IT work. Or maybe I'm just really underpaid.
But you choose the trade routes individually. Its not natural, that's the player's choice in where the roads go (except for Rome: all roads lead to Rome lol (special power where every city auto-builds a road to Rome in the early ages))
