>The Economist is, therefore, enabling employers to do whatever they can within the confines of the law to help themselves.

Saying 'greedy' just saves 13 words. But I'm being flippant with what I consider to be an important topic. Let me be be positive, this:

Depending on independent actors in a free market system to act on specific moral principles rather than in their own best interest is not going to work in practice.

Feels like a variation of a "tragedy of the commons[0]" / "race to the bottom[1]" situation, which is where this:

government is the one responsible for regulating it

is exposed as the causal failure - in large part because, I think, the same people that influence the angle The Economist is taking are those who 'donate' to various members of government. The more I'm talking through this, the more I see the problem as voter apathy. If a member of government only gets feedback from industry lobbyists, that's all they'll be able to base their decisions on.

Write your local members! Use your voice! Vote! (I'm saying this to myself as much as anyone else). Only politics can solve politics.

That sounds like all British immigration rules. My employer had to apply for my visa and had to pay all my healthcare contributions for a year up front before I could move for a job in London. If I lose my job I have a few weeks to find a new employer (who will have to be willing to pay for a visa transfer) or I have to leave the country.

It's a bizarre system but it seems like this reporter doesn't know how normal it is. I doubt British people know how bizarre the policies that arose from their voting are either.

(Likewise for Europe and the US)
You’re correct about the skin penetration, but the risk with tritium is in inhalation. Experiments with mice demonstrate carcinogenesis. The increase in cancer risk from inhaled tritium in humans is unknown, but the substance is considered dangerous enough that it’s a pain in the ass to get the certifications to use it in your laboratory. It definitely should not be considered harmless.

I worked with Stephen Bodner on the fusion program mentioned in the fine article. We did our experiments with deuterium. The reason we did not use DT, which would have been better for the experiments, is because nobody wanted to (1) go through the hassle of getting the lab certified to handle tritium' (2) get anywhere near the stuff. It is considered very hazardous.
I don’t like NYTimes tone about this. If you decide to major in Cinematography and then blame the college for negative ROI, the fault is entirely on you. No amount of fudging will bend the market forces for employment in your favor. Supply far exceeds the demand for such roles (similar video game software devs).

We need more community and polytechnic institutes. Trade craft schools and apprenticeships like they do in Switzerland. I don’t understand why people (mostly progressives but also conservatives) in USA continue to double down on degree programs.

Sure, I’ve worked on systems that I had no business need to operate. Nor even the skill to know how to operate them correctly.

NYT says the authors define the earnings premium by reference to a typical HS grad. But folks who can gain acceptance into a good program at a good school would (after 4 years) earn more than a typical HS grad, even if they skipped college.

Why attribute 100% of the uplift to the degree?
Iterating on battery design is important but it's important to realize that existing batteries are already pretty good. More than good enough to be cost competitive with ICE vehicles over the life time of the vehicle in most classes of road transport (e-bikes to heavy trucks) and trending towards being cost competitive on purchase price as well in the next years and production price soon after (purchase price typically involves tax incentives).

Most of that is just relentless optimization by companies that have gone from small factories to operating multiple so-called Giga factories, i.e. factories producing multiple GWH worth of battery capacity. Tera factories are coming next. Tera factories are essential to be able to actually satisfy demand. Currently any battery that is produced finds its way to a product that probably has some kind of waiting list. Demand is that strong. Driving prices down below 100$/kwh is important for this as most cars don't need more than 50-70 kwh (i.e. 5000-7000$) worth of batteries. Tesla does not disclose their battery cost but they've been rumored to have long broken through that price point. Chinese manufacturers are selling cars below 5000$ in their domestic market already.

Solid state batteries will have to be cost competitive to be able to make a dent in that market. That will likely happen eventually but probably not in the next year. However, demand won't be an issue even at an initial premium price point. There are plenty of markets where it makes sense to pay a premium for a lighter, more efficient, safer battery. Prices will come down as that market matures. But that might take a decade or so.

So college degree is like POW (proof-of-work) in blockchains.

Sure I sometimes have a little high standards compared to others, but how are we ever gonna fix software if we don't stop with the "let me quick..."

If you e.g. handle private data of people you should code as if every character you type had the ability to leak a persons data forever (because often it has). Programming is beautiful because it multiplies. If you do a good job, the fruits of your work can make many peoples lives better. The same is true into the other direction: With great power comes great responsibility.

I also happen to be a certified electrical engineer. There you also have situations where you'd want to "just quickly" fix something. Only that you don't do it because you would be liable if you burn someone's house down or kill them.

I'd love for the whole field to get a little bit more serious about the impact our work has if done badly.
Signed distance fields is a really useful technique. Its commonly used in font rendering in games as it lets you dynamically change font weights and add effects like outlines or drop shadows.
Reasoning by analogy is not valid reasoning.

With old and new computers, the physics are different - what makes the principles still work is that logics are the same, both have gates, memory etc.

With fusion you still have the same physical substrate you need to affect.

Also you have something backwards in your reasoning. Real production systems are usually much more complicated because they need to stay up all the time, witness real nuclear power plants with their little armies of engineers, operators etc. versus the simple research reactors of old times.
I believe that this is a good idea – in this case it’s probably a good idea to consult a lawyer. At least to see what they say about your case.

The latter has interestingly tried to join Canada a few times. Not really located anywhere strategic.

Ask HN: How to Switch from Engineering to Management
Hi HN,

I’m asking for career-advice moving from being very technical to management.

My data:

* 36 years old, living in the middle of europe

* BSc ComputerScience

* Programming for 25 years (since I was a young teenager)

* 15+ years of experience in designing, programming and shipping projects for money in multiple companies

* Knowledge of Java for 15 years, Kotlin for 5, JavaScript for 20 years.

* Shipped projects in frontend, backend and mobile, my resume lists 40 projects.

* Many opensource contributions

My issue is this:

I am in a “do whatever someone throws at you” position in a software-consultancy. The pay is excellent, but there is no real career-path and our work is chaotic and of bad quality.

I want to switch jobs, but I cannot seem to find a proper position:

* I can apply for senior-developer positions, but I'm overqualified for that. I have some project-management skills, I am an expert in SW-architecture and also have a little UX-design knowledge. In a SCRUM team I'm not able to use these skills.

* I applied for management-jobs, but they always shove me towards a technical (lead) position. My theory is that they don't believe that someone who has that many projects can also be good with people.

* I’ve thought about writing books on software-engineering or start my own company.

Who will hire people like me?

Does anyone else have these issues?
Working in a regulated industry, shipping (e.g.) some docker images and a Helm chart is definitely preferable!

Effectiveness of indoor hang drying depends on air humidity and circulation. In our previous place, at end of August indoor RH would be around 70% (edit: outdoor would be around the same so opening a window wouldn't make a difference). In practice that meant that some of the clothes hadn't completely dried the next day, and were starting to smell.
I agree in principle, though some of these islands want to stay with France / the EU, in contrary to the Falklands it is the native people there that want to stay, not the (only) the colonialists.
Is it bizarre? Sounds like similar rules to anywhere - no country wants to let in people who can't support themselves.
It shouldn't be any harder to get split-horizon DNS working on v6... and in fact v6 should eliminate the need for it in the first place, since the IP of a computer is just its IP.
I noticed this as well during my time as a teacher. I'd occasionally bring my kids (ages 15-18) to the lab to research things, and I'd have to handhold them through stuff as basic as Googling; a lot of them thought they had to download Chrome before they could begin searching, thanks to the "switch to Chrome" ads on the front page. The war on general purpose computing has basically been won already. I expect demographic trends (aided by a bit of glow in the dark fuckery) to make owning a PC unfeasible within a generation or so.

Anecdotally, I'd place the high water mark of public computing knowledge around 2009. Even frat bros were installing Linux and torrenting stuff off of private trackers back then.
I didn't know this one, I'll take a look at it, thanks!

Right, but:

- a child makes the decision

- the main influences on the child probably don't impress on the child the need to analyse the decision rationally

- even if the child tried to analyse it rationally, what % of prospective college students have the financial literacy to do that successfully?

- even if they had the financial literacy, it's not like colleges provide useful data. Even this article talks about earnings uplift without isolating the impact of the degree (vs. existing increased prospects compared with typical HS grad).

Lots of news about fusion those days. Is it just a coincidence, a fad, the "funding renewal negociations incoming, better get some PR" phase, or can we have the slighest spark of a small quantum of this weird and recently undocumented thing called "hope" ?
I first discovered Croatia when it was called Yugoslavia. Yes, it's an extremely beautiful country. But the area also has systemic problems that to me seems to be political in nature. Well, perhaps not all. Some of it is also simply economic. For good or bad, that leads to cheap prices on everything, which is the real reason so many people come, despite its charm. I'm sure that can be alleviated with with and good leadership, however. And where there's income, it's also worth investing in infrastructure.
Oh sorry, I didn't mean all-in-one as in it can do everything, just that it can handle synthesis and composition. I guess "batteries included" might be a better term, what I really meant was something that needs no external sources for either sound or sequencing, you can make a track from start to end without needing to use something else.

Of course, supercollider does indeed fit this role, but as I've said I do have problems with it. Currently I'm looking at using a generic language, with some synthesis and composition modules. Suprisingly, game frameworks (e.g. Love2D) are looking promising for this, so that could be good, if a little bit overkill.

There's no great conspiracy here.

The vast majority of people in Taiwan do not want to be a part of the PRC. The vast majority of people in the Falklands want to remain a British Overseas Territory.
Yes but in this given day and age, maybe a high school graduate can take a year or two off just to focus on creating open source projects or contributing to open source projects. Heck they can even build some hacky basic hardware + software systems using Pi or Arduino. That will include learning across disciplines beyond computer science like thermodynamics if they work on measuring and controlling thermal outputs.

A candidate whose github project is highly starred and forked is a lot more valuable to employer than someone with a paper showing the degree. It will cost less than one fourth of what it will cost to a semester in top US school.

Yeah, it's not really optimized for that. The floating labels over the code examples are offset in 3d space (for a subtle parallax effect while scrolling), so when HW acceleration is off it may end up repainting the page on every scroll. The effect is probably not worth the tradeoffs :)

Sounds a bit like Wallis and Futuna - the French have been open to, or even supportive of decolonization for decades now, but the Wallisians have no interest in leaving France [1] - perhaps they learned from the divergent stories of La Reunion and Mayotte as compared to the Comoro Islands? I believe La Reunion has the highest GDP per capita in all of Africa (confirmed, 27000USD, which is way, way higher than the nearest continental neighbor). The EU even paid to put up a giant ring highway around the island. [2] No such luck for residents of Grande Comore, who are among the poorest on the continent - $1400USD - among the poorest on earth.

It's interesting, such far-flung territories with limited resources, limited space and limited connections seem to be positioned to benefit the most from the largesse of a parent nation. Especially with European powers eager to distance themselves from their colonial past and ready to give their dependent territories maximum latitutde.

Yes, at this company there was a very neat dataset of, essentially, the output of `ps` on every host taken every N minutes. Metadata about each process also included things like binary build time, commit, open ports, UID/GID, etc. It made things like tracking software rollouts or finding hosts that (for whatever reason) were stuck running old code very easy.
