For employers it's game theory. If employees are commodities then it's better to keep the pay structure and have X amount of attrition than to pay everyone more to keep attrition low.
You get used to the dock real quick.

It's recovering - everything's working for me now.

Much hugs to the GitHub SREs.
The focus on understanding rather than on rote memorization of methods, is paramount.
The office at the location that I currently am based in for my company includes a courtyard with pond for breaks, an onsite massage therapist, food court with good food, workout gym, and other things... If I am not getting to use these extra provided perks I am expecting for my company to make up for that by paying me a portion of what they were spending on all of those in person perks. This is prob going to make some developers quit working at google I could imagine.
I’m hearing more and more that companies cut compensation based on remote or onsite work.

But what I’ve heard only concerns hiring processes, which is already alarming, whereas this article mentions during-contract salary cut, which I can’t comment on since it is just plain illegal where I am (Europe) and I’m just educated to react very strongly to this madness. See? I just did it :)
Understanding Fuchsia Security
"Fuchsia is a new open-source operating system created at Google that is currently under active development. The core architectural principles guiding the design and development of the OS include high system modularity and a specific focus on security and privacy. This paper analyzes the architecture and the software model of Fuchsia, giving a specific focus on the core security mechanisms of this new operating system."

As soon as I saw the "snake", I made the assumption on my own that this was just a crudely drawn tree with the dots representing fruits/"apples" as the story is commonly known.

Stretching this into an article about psychedelic mushrooms is quite a reach.
I have always assumed one of our cats could count. Our cats got the desert plates at the end of our meal.

One of the cats left when he had them all, while other cats kept waiting ( or begging ). Sometimes they needed to be shown there were none left.

But that one cat, no matter how many people were at the table, always seemed to know when he had them all.
Catholicism has no concept of the elect, at least not in the way you describe it.
Perhaps this could be resolved in a similar way, by calling the standard language "British".
Those who didn't want Afghanistan to turn into a US puppet state. I remember how the Pentagon quickly found out that Afghanistan is a logistical nightmare and they tried to get their supplies through former Soviet states...
American hubris assumed they were the top dogs in the region- they were proven very wrong.
Sorry you had such an experience! There really is a lot to unpack here.

As the article describes, memorization of “formulas” doesn’t actually work for my students and leaves those that it “worked” disadvantaged in future learning.

My personal guess is the “not being good at math” originates from this, at least in part. It’s a confidence killer for sure that on one had you are being forced to do something unnatural (memorize weird looking formulas) and on the other give a somewhat easy, yet demeaning, way out by saying “it’s ok, you are just not good at math”.

The calculator to study and no calculator for the test is even more ridiculous - students are put in a high pressure situation without the very tool/crutch they came to rely upon. If anything, the inverse might make more sense - homework you have a lot more time and less pressure, so try working it out on paper. Test is timed, so it’s ok to use a calculator aid, so long as you show your work.
I'm a little concerned about the possibility of using this to get another company's AWS account banned (e.g. by misusing SES).

Do you think this is a reasonable concern?
It's as annoying as the popular misconception that we have any real choices regarding our elected officials and their policies. Uhh, yeah, let me just build a whole slew of candidates from scratch who actually want to do anything about real root cause issues.

Racism is another one. I don't have any fscks left to give for anyone who wants to lecture me on racism in America. Our racial tensions are only visible because we aren't totally marginalizing (or cleansing for that matter) our minority populations.
> Disney has been laundering (and copyrighting) folk history for a century now, and Marvel mythology for a little less time.

Almost every fiction ever written does that. It makes better stories, arguably: 1) Those stories persisted across eons for a reason, and 2) it anchors the new story in something people already have an understanding of.
On the contrary - HN articles about Firefox are always overrun by positively breathless supporters of Firefox and nothing is different here today.

The real negativity can be seen in the market that largely rejected this garbage browser.
No integers. What's the difference between == and ===. Why do I need to learn two ways to declare a class. What module system should I use and why are they all different. Why isn't there much of a standard library. WTF is Grunt, NPM, etc. Just explain 'this' to me again. What is the distinction between null and undefined. What is the difference between for/of and for/in.

JavaScript is far from accessible to new users neither is it simple.
Can't say I've stumbled upon a lot of desktop apps (not terminal utilities) that are not on Flathub. The list is pretty long: https://flathub.org/apps/category/All

From my experience, most of the popular proprietary ones (think: Slack, Discord, Spotify, whatever) are distributed both as a flatpak and as a snap, while more niche desktop apps are usually flatpak-exclusive (out of those options).
One fix for this is to have exam questions such that you cannot pass them unless you have true understanding rather than rote memorisation.
Except, this is a christian fresco, and this is not how Christianity interprets the Genesis story. I understand that Judaism was the source religion of Christianity, but the two religions are substantially different. Christianity has very different interpretations of the Old Testament compared to the Jews.
Thanks Dave! :)
As a heavy macOS user, it doesn't seem that macy to me.

There's far fewer flat icon in its design, the shortcut hints are styled in a completely different manner, there's no global menu bar (not that they have a choice with GTK+), and the top bar widget actions are more complex than the ones you see in macOS
No, turbo specifically draws more fuel. You’re using an elastic definition of efficieny that I’m not gona jive with as energy supply from wind is constant.

EDIT it’s more like gearing.
I am not a fan of mandatory books, but I know I would have loved to read and talk about this book in school. It covers everything scientific, as well as philosophical existential questions.
Huh? I always have >20 document windows open. Some for future reading, some for future editing and some that I forgot to close. I guess it depends on the kind of work you do. I think many office worker types are similar to me...
It seems like a different Apple than the one that was previously so defiant to authoritarian abuses from the last administration.
I have noticed that any HN front page thread about compensation has at least 300 comments.
> How can you prove that this will always be the case?

How can you prove that Google isn't intentionally turning in a huge number of unnecessary false positives because of their well known aversion to hiring human beings when flawed machine learning models are cheaper?
While session restore of your tabs is off by default in Forex, I believe shutting down your computer while Firefoxis running is a special case. Since the user didn’t explicitly quit Firefox, it is trying to resume where you left off.
LowEndMac: Long Term Value of Apple Hardware
An anonymous function is defined (can't find a better word) between braces like {x+1}, in python (lambda x: x+1). There is an inner one, {x,+/-2#x}, and the outer one (the entire thing).

/ (like a lot of k symbols) does a few different things depending on context. In this case, if you do n f/x, where f takes a single argument (is a unary/monadic function), it applies f to x n times.

-2#x: yeah, it seems reasonable that it might negate the first two elements, APL uses ¯2 instead of -2 for this reason. In k however -2 is parsed as one number, as - then 2#...

Sure, there may be some complexities or questions, but there are in all languages, and in this case they were fairly simple things anyway to me.
Are you referring to the "lump of labor" fallacy?

No sudden changes? Gnome3 was a pox and broke literally everything.

The entire family of touch friendly interfaces on non touch systems can fall into a black hole, and the world would be better for it.
Thankfully for me, my college Calculus professor(in USA) banned calculators for Calc 1 and 2(the two required Calc classes for a computer science degree at my public university).

He was heavily avoided by many and "special" for doing so. I found it easier to forego the calculator as it allowed us to focus on methods and how/why over just moving large numbers around.
As an Indonesian, it's nice to see an Indonesian startup accepted in YC. You have a noble cause.

The challenge is probably in marketing. There is a positive body movement. Any body should be accepted as they are. Any body is beautiful. So when you try to market your app to obese or overweight people, things can get awkward. So good luck!

I, myself, try to gain weight. So I'm not your target. :)
This is also a subsidy.
Web devs who don't give a shit about FF.
Giving kids and teens a safer experience online
The early days of web browsers
Every UI change has negative feedback to some degree because a part of the user base just doesn't like change.

Overall FF is just as usable as the decade before in my opinion. And I kind of like the new tab design. The old super rounded tabs looked great for a while but it was time for a change.

I'm not a designer, but in my experience it helps to change up user interfaces now and then. However I wish we as users had more control over that. Color themes are not enough.
Self hosted as a feature. Akin to managed vs colo hosting.
I imagine they could find some way to make money with an extra 10 hours a week.
Engineers in the US are much more expensive but they have experience working in high scale environments that isn't widely available in the markets you are talking about. FAANG companies and well-funded startups aren't going to substitute someone else even if they can theoretically pay 5x less for someone 90% as good.

All these companies care about is being as competitive as possible. They have a pretty much unlimited supply of money, and one of the most primary things driving their business success is how good their engineers are.
I bootstrapped ConveyThis from $0-250k to ARR. AMA
Always keep in mind the technology evolves faster than the human. This means we live in a completely different environment from our ancestors while our brains are largely the same as theirs. Maybe the contact we have already is too much.

https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Kobold

>Kobolds were aggressive, inward, yet industrious small humanoid creatures. They were noted for their skill at building traps and preparing ambushes, and mining. They were distantly related to dragons[9] and urds[10] and were often found serving as their minions.

>A kobold was a reptilian humanoid,[12] standing between 2' and 2'6" (60cm – 75cm) tall, weighing 35 to 45 pounds (16 – 20kg), with scaled skin between reddish brown and black in color and burnt orange to red eyes

WTF were they thinkingk that a minion-like ML/AI resource hoarding company to serve their Human-esque overlords was a good idea:

> * KoBold's purpose is to discover and develop new ethical sources of the
critical materials for electric vehicles. KoBold's objective is to make
more discoveries of outstanding orebodies by drawing on world-class
expertise in exploration geoscience and by developing full-stack

But those numbers are averages, my case is special because of X, Y, and Z. I’m sure every manager can rationalize this away.
IME if you didn’t use the DB
-specific features, migration is painful, but not that much so.

If you did use the DB specific features, you’re screwed regardless of an ORM.

NB: I work for a DB migration firm, specializing in legacy->modern — where our usual customer has thousands of SP’s that have to be migrated and an ORM would have saved you maybe 5% of the effort; so my experience is biased towards that level of difficulty.
You won't get top talent in Ukraine for 60k.
It’s not typical at all. Only in the recently released version 40 Gnome has shipped what feels like a prototype of this.

Before then only the obscure Wayfire had a similar gesture for desktop switching (actually good) and there were a few projects hacking it up with simulated keyboard shortcuts (obviously not the same at all).
The creator economy is in crisis. Now let’s fix it
I don’t know if it’s a legal requirement, I certainly couldn’t find any information on it. My assumption is some lawyer told him it’s a “best practice” to have this information on record in case the DEA audits him or something.
Best Cleaning Services to Contact in Kilburn
House cleaning in Kilburn will restrict germs to get near you. It will also help you to make your home germ-free. Weekly cleaning or at least cleaning twice a month will help you make your kitchen, carpets, furniture, and all stuff safe for your toddler so he won’t get interaction with germs.
Thank you. It seems "px" is really the worst of both worlds, then.

It's not device independent like "pt", it's not what most people expect it to be (one device pixel), and there's subjective "wiggle room" in what it actually means.
It seems like everyone replying has ignored my caveats.

Most international students are not there because of discrimination they faced. Most people who are seeking asylum or undocumented in the US are from the Americas.

For international students not from the Americas, most are wealthy or well connected by the standards of their home country, although often not by American standards. It's not uncommon to hear about the banker who became a taxi driver in the US, but what you hear less of is the farmer's kid - because they never even get a chance to come.
Charlie Bell leaving Amazon after 23 years
When I push git commits it fails instantly each and every time. To me, that looks like an outage.
It's an average, not a universal. Confronted with the data, you COULD choose to increase engagement, or look to reduce cost of churn.

Amazon delays equity a lot, so it may look financially sensible to churn through people.

Beyond that though, companies make plenty of universal errors. Can you think of any other errors the -average- company makes, that may cost them money?
>But if you frame it as a 10% pay decrease in exchange for a 20% reduction in how much of your life is devoted to work, it suddenly becomes a lot less palatable.

If some avg Google Seattle employee was making 250k and that got reduced to 225K I don't think their life materially changes in any way. You aren't going to retire significantly faster, you aren't going to be priced out of your home, you aren't going to have to change your lifestyle really in any way I'd think so what's the possible downside?
The dilemma with tests is that we need them to measure competency, but once you introduce them, the specific form the test takes becomes a target, itself.
Great article, thanks.

It needs an editor, though. Way too long.
That's what I've heard too, that most COBOL jobs don't pay that much and have been outsourced.

> If I was maintaining some decades-old legacy code and knew that my employer will most likely still be around and pay me a competitive salary for the rest of my life, I wouldn't mind just mastering COBOL.

That is how I feel too. In fact I'd prefer working on something that really lasts compared to the latest fad. But the differences in salary make this a difficult choices.
You can't mention Felix Culpa though without mentioning Original Sin. Like most things in traditional Catholicism, there is a duality and a paradox. You can't get one without the other. Mentioning the Fall as a strictly good thing is simply ridiculous. That does not find any ground in traditional Catholicism, which also believed (and still believes frankly) that all the bad things in life, including the pain of childbirth, disease, sin, and destruction, are directly attributable to the sin of Adam and Eve.

Plus, there are several translations of it. The common rendition into English is 'happy fault', which may be too positive. The other translations include 'lucky mistake', 'happy mistake', blessed fall, etc. Note again the duality, the paradox, and that the fundamental noun (fault, mistake, fall) is negative. It's a paradox, a mystery, meant to get you to think deeper, not some stunning endorsement of listening to Satan.
Computational Complexity of Air Travel Planning (Presentation) [pdf]
To me it seems like GNOME apps/gtk have positioned themselves as the "GUI for the masses" as they follow all the terrible trends from others like massive padding,low content density, phone like controls. But that also means catering to the usage patterns and expectations of this demograpic.
Translation: Don't you dare try to accumulate wealth and retire early.

Also, I wonder how much more likely upper managers are to own real estate in areas near Google offices.
A lot of good stuff in there. I enjoy Gnome quite a bit and aesthetics and flow are large part of that
And likely much earlier than that. They might not even live to their pension date.
Nitpick: I think that should be 1 g (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth), not 1 G (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant)
This is a good question. Its not an answer, but I think I'll clear everything upon installing this update.
I'd say boring isn't the same thing as (perceived) meaninglessness. I kinda like lots of work that's considered boring, personally—but pointless, wasteful, meaningless, or unappreciated? Let alone harmful? I won't become disengaged, because I'll never be engaged to begin with.
If you're making 200K plus and spend 80% of your take home you've got serious issues.

Considering that most Java codebases are still on Java 8, I'm not sure I agree with your point that "If we can do it, everybody can". Let's agree to disagree on that.
That's precisely what got me into Linux desktop as well. After trying out dozens or so distros, my beaten up Asus laptop kept running absurdly hot (like 80 degrees celsius). elementary OS 0.2 (Luna) was lightweight enough that it was the first distro I've tried that I could actually use as a daily driver.

I've been using elementary OS since. I've tried some other distros, but those experiences usually ended up with me trying to recreate elementary feeling, failing, and then returning back to elementary OS a couple of weeks later.
Stop putting all your eggs in one basket!

A cheap/used tablet is like $50-$100. Put your online banking apps and other surveillance-based-apps on it, and generally leave it at home. Mine has a red label on it that says "Full Take".

You're then free to secure your mobile device with things that will best protect your location and communications, without worrying about lazy/invasive apps complaining.

Also if you get mugged, an attacker can't make you sign into online banking and see that you have a bunch of money sitting in your accounts.
I have heard rumors about this - very happy to see it in place.
The question I was responding to was "Is a life of mindless clicking ever going to be as good as a real one, spent in the company of real people who aren’t endlessly distracted?". And the answer is obviously yes, because some people are shit, and some virtual content is great.

> It's: how does it affect mental health? One way of looking at it is: are we so social we need contact with a physical human being for certain aspects of our well being?

No I don't think that's a good way to look at it. By that metric anything that is not socializing with other physical human beings is equally bad. Reading a book is bad. Eating is bad. Showering is bad. The way you've phrased this question, you've assumed that digital content is so pervasive that you don't get enough physically present socializing, which isn't necessarily true to evaluate the question "does it affect our mental health?". If we're open to extreme cases, everything affects mental health. The question you really want to be asking is "does it materially affect most peoples' mental heath?". Personally, I think the answer is no not really. Obviously it becomes a vice for some.
My experience includes government, consumer unicorns, and new vehicle development in aerospace. I'm familiar with highly regulated and exponential-growth settings.
Or the fact that Google and Microsoft used their monopoly power and dark patterns to do it. Google asked every Firefox user to 'upgrade' to Chrome on all their properties, didn't work as hard to ensure Firefox compatibility leading to worse performance, and bundled Chrome with all kinds of stuff like Adobe Flash updates for Firefox to trick users into installing it (I uninstalled it from my Mom's PC 4 times). Microsoft resets default browser preferences or 'suggests' you switch to Edge for better insert random thing here pretty regularly as well. Mozilla has no such monopoly position to leverage.
If you want to go down a rabbit hole, look into biblical and other references to how important and common the acacia tree was, and then consider that it's thought to be a significant source of DMT. (The second fresco in the article has what appears to be an acacia tree in it). One can only speculate what someone could have imagined if they were around one while it was burning and they inhaled it. The analog feedback patterns one sees when their senses are impaired are by almost all accounts, geometric patterns like fractals, and so the discovery of geometry and association of it with mysticism could have a common chemical origin. If there was something to be known or learned from psychedelic experiences, a national security service would need to know and understand its boundaries. Given radio was only recently discovered, people new to the idea of communicating over long distances using invisible energy would have had to consider whether there was some chemical connection. I'm not saying it's aliens...but it may very well be all drugs.
Anyone compared MinIO vs Ceph? I like MinIO because it seems exponentially simpler to setup but I don't know about its distributed and scalability stories.

The sciencealert page is a digest of the author’s university’s digest. The papers themselves are usually much better material. Quite understandable in my experience.

That said, as someone in a relationship with autoimmune diabetes, I hope this work comes to fruition. It’s obviously a good idea to try to research and develop this further.
