This is an article based on a report by Amdocs[0]. In their report, they mention a few things:

> The importance of well-being. Amdocs has expanded its employee wellbeing program to fit the COVID era, deeply focused on physical and mental health, sense of social belonging, financial care and sense of company purpose.

I worked at Amdocs until the week before lockdowns happened. They offered minimal benefits. They offered three weeks PTO, which included sick time, vacation, and personal days. It was one of my reasons for leaving. Only after 3 or 5 years with the company could you get an additional week of PTO. I had two family members pass within a week of each other, and I had to fight in meetings for a few hours to get permission to use my bereavement leave to help attend and arrange their funerals. That left a sour taste in my mouth.

> Remote work doesn’t slow us down. As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, we managed to completely shift to virtual and remote learning. As a result, and despite the challenges of the pandemic, we ended up with a 12% increase in learning events at Amdocs.

My original company got acquired by Amdocs, and they did not let us continue our annual hackathon, removed our budget for attending and contributing to conferences, and removed our education budget (could be used for buying books, courses, etc). Even if that 12% figure is accurate, I'm sure it's pennies on the dollar compared to the industry average.

I appreciate the effort Amdocs put into this, but if you look at the report, it seems like a set up for a PR move.

Vlojure – A New Way to Write ClojureScript [video]
Sure, consumers are normally shielded from the wholesale market by regulation or contract (although not necessarily in Texas, as some learned), but I'm pretty sure the graph posted by the GP is the day-ahead wholesale market for some jurisdiction.
That’s so funny, I did the exact opposite at my company. The nastier you are in ticket the slower we were to respond. Eventually word got out that if you’re polite you can get answers from the CEO. If you’re rude, you go to the back of the line and don’t have a chance of talking with anyone beyond tier 2. It took a couple years for everyone to “get it”, but it mostly works now. We only actually ever got 1 letter from someone’s family attorney (read: the customer’s sibling). We just sent a FU nasty gram back on letterhead from our huge multinational firm signed by a partner and we never heard from them again.
It is an official CNCF project, but its not very difficult to get added, see https://github.com/cncf/landscape#new-entries you need 300 github stars and to be cloud native.
I don't disagree with you about the overall health benefits of regular exercise, but the entire point of the article was that the "prevailing advice" WRT weight management is often over-simplified to the point of worthlessness.
How is 2% even news? Doesn't that happen all the time? I bet it rebounds tomorrow.
He didn't mess up by much, really.

I've always hated those detergent packs and use powdered detergent anyway, but his first video got me to start putting a bit in the pre-wash as well.

The difference was night and day. I used to think my dishwasher kinda sucked. Now, I have no complaints.
This loses sight of the lack of incentive missing from hospitals and even residency programs from funding their own positions. There’s literally no regulation preventing a program from funding their own without Medicare dollars. They just need ACGME to sign off on it.

Turns out if you hand out free money for minimum wage employees that rely on your training to not kill people, there’s very little incentive to pay out of pocket. Especially so when programs realize that their trainees will just work harder/longer for the same pay without much complaining.

I also think there’s a method to the madness of training program length and number of spots (namely, ensuring you have enough exposure to the common things/uncommon things you will encounter on your own to be competent), but I agree more scrutiny would weed out inefficiencies in the training process. But like, there’s an obvious reason neurosurgery residencies don’t take that many trainees every year, not just to create artificial scarcity.
The solution is to build more housing. California has historically been terrible about that but SB9 and 10 are significant steps in the right direction.
It's great to see this spin off. ClickHouse is fast but certain use cases are not ideal and having it spin off the team can focus more on the community and what they need instead of just the use cases Yandex had. Cheers to the team and good luck!
Bitcoin falls as much as 10% as risky assets tumble globally
One feature of Nix is to be able to rebuild something the same way on different systems. The article suggests that adding the debug symbols is a simple flag in the build expression.

Based on that, you shouldn't need the debug symbols in advance, though ymmv, when trying to debug an issue in container A on dev machine B.
But that's half of the fun!
I wanted to create a similar "from scratch" installation by adding the bootloader and the kernel to a virtual disk image, then connecting the kernel-mode debugger from the Driver Kit to a virtual machine COM port, and checking what files the kernel expects to see before it falls over (as it doesn't find them). My end goal would have been to add MSYS2 and launch an init system and ultimately a terminal. Unfortunately there were a lot of steps before the system gets to a usable state, I don't think I was anywhere near that point even after a whole lot of reboots & debug sessions.

The summary in this Wikipedia article about the startup process helped a lot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_startup_process
I've often wondered about this myself.

E.g. it's a lot easier to have two working people in a couple make $300K total vs only one person making $300K. It would be interesting to go back in time and correlate the rise of dual working couples vs housing prices adjusted for other factors e.g. inflation
That’s the point - it doesn’t.
> Then who decides how many residency spots are available?

Well... Congress, essentially, by determining how much funding Medicare gets, a portion of which is allocated to funding residency programs.

Contrary to popular belief, residency programs are by and large not money-making operations (or even self-sustaining ones). If they were, hospitals would expand them! But because they lose money, the government has to subsidize them in order to encourage hospitals to run them at their current levels.
I bought my iPhone 13 Pro, and there was an option right there on the page to trade in my existing hardware. I chose yes, and, because I bought that phone with my same apple account which I also have linked to the hardware, my phone showed up right there as an option. I tapped on it, said yes it's in good condition, and got like $530 CDN off my purchase.

Could I sell my phone for more than $530? Yes. Is it worth my time to deal with asshats on Craigslist who arrange a time to meet up and then ghost you for three days, just to get a bit more out of it? Nah.

(Despite initially trying to sell it, my iPhone Xs sat on a shelf for two years until someone saw it and said "Hey are you selling that? My phone is dying.")

Presumably that also means that the phone is going to get refurbished, or maybe stripped for parts and recycled by Apple's fancy disassembly robots, which is nice.
A lot of aftermarket Pixels are useless because they have a locked boot loader as well. So even if you wanted to run an unofficial rom, you can't. This has tanked the resale value of these phones, which I'm sure the carriers are fine with.
3x income for your debt load or for the overall home cost? Either way it seems like it wouldn't really directly translate to a % of income as monthly payment.
If you're financially responsible, isn't this all upside (an interest-free loan) with no downside?
When I labeled the comments, I didn't label books that were criticized. So in theory the model should filter out negative reviews. But currently the training dataset is pretty limited in size so you still can see some negative ones. I suspect that with more training data this problem will go away.
California coast is public up to mean high tide. This is appreciably different from, for example, Oregon where it is public further in (typically to the vegetation line, details are slightly complex). It makes it significantly easier for California property owners to de facto remove public access to beaches, which is very common in some areas. On top of this, CA courts have often been reluctant to enforce public rights to beaches.
According to Apple, it's been postponed.

It's obvious that people as smart as Apple wouldn't be doing this tremendous damage to their brand if they weren't deadset on launching it, so it's likely that it will launch quietly later, once the furor over it has died down.
It worked out pretty well. Paid ~£300 for a second hand Samsung S7 mid 2017 and it lasted until last month (so ~4 years) where it completely died (stuck on the rebooted and then stuck on the boot screen getting really hot). Somehow it was even still getting occasional security updates, although I think that was just luck.

Currently using a cheap backup device I normally use for app dev while I workout what my plan for the next one is.

SF Rush 2049 on DC was my jam, oh my god.
I bought my one used but like new for a bit over $130 or so. It's a very cheap way to have really quite a nice phone.
In NYC, Apple Maps this last weekend suggested I go way out of my way on one subway line and then backtrack on another to get to my destination. It also suggested none of the other direct routes that Citymapper was able to discern. Not sure what happened in the 3+ years that I’ve stopped using Apple Maps but I used it the whole way there and the experience was awful. I will continue not using it.
This confuses false negatives with true positives. If someone can produce a positive antibody test, it means they had covid, period. As such, they don't need the vaccine.

The credibility problem arises when people are so gungho into pushing vaccines onto everyone, whether they need it or not, that they willfully ignore any possible alternative.

While it would be great if we could Solve Poverty (TM), I think reducing legalized theft of poor people’s assets would be a great first step.

Nobody in this thread was arguing that we should solve it only for some races, rather that it does seem to affect them more often.
I agree, that seems like a very bad idea.
Good to know. Although it's scary to think about waking up a quadriplegic.
This brings up a question I have had, is it not possible to put the debug info in a separate file that gdb could load instead of in the binary itself? If you could do this, you could then easily have xyz-dbg packages that only contained these files, or even an distro repository of these files that the debugger could download as needed.
> Most other database management systems don’t even permit benchmarks (through the infamous "DeWitt clause"). But we don’t fear benchmarks; we collect them.

I love the confidence here.
Looks like they're slowly starting to compete with Zoom on all those new FaceTime features.
I think also the process to get support is part of what causes the loss of patience.

For example being forced to listen to a 2-minute recording, then they ask you to punch in your account number, so you do that, and then the first thing the representative asks you is for your account number. Like WTF I just entered it, it should be popping up on your screen. And then they try transfer you to someone, and then that goes to a voicemail, so you hang up and then try the whole thing again 5 more times.
Supplement it with NextDNS, too, which also blocks most tracking inside of apps.
Right, the model is not perfect with limited training dataset I have (we hand labeled 4,000 - which is already tons of work for a side project). But the intention was to filter out negative ones.
Probably the best way to be able to contribute is to follow the mailing list guidelines at https://www.openbsd.org/mail.html , including doing one's homework, and understanding that the devs have created this impressively high-quality system for themselves, give it away for free, and it isn't kind for new people to ask for changes to it when they are not willing to study or provide patches.

Probably good to have humility and a thick skin also, and they welcome $ donations to their project, but I not necessarily with strings attached or orders as to how things must be done. (I have no connection but as a user.)

One can hire help of course: https://www.openbsd.org/support.html . :)
There is a site (deinwal.de) that does what you said and it gave me the exact results. In fact, the wahl-o-mat and other sites merely mirror my own voting behavior. I bet almost nobody other than me actually reads party programs.

I have this simple strategy. I base my decision for who to not vote for based on the behavior of the parties and my decision for who to vote for based on their political program. It's not very surprising that the results were the same.
When it goes up 2% it never makes the news.
Its interesting how often on HN the main problem always ends up being how people will "feel" about the next crisis, and the danger of that feeling itself. It's a weird kind of proxy self-consciousness older generations have on behalf of the economy. Always and forever: "no no, it's not that bad, really!"

meanwhile people are very much homeless, whether they are millenials or not, whether they react strongly or not.
some are interesting
I’m using this device now and it sure does pack a punch! I do have to charge it throughout the day when on heavy usage, but it’s snappy and responsive just like my previous device, iPhone 12 Pro.

It consistently shocks me how rarely this is brought up as a solution. Price of something too high? Increase the supply.
A convenient mansplain, as it does not match up with the fact that the devices in question here were not in the state you described, nor did you inquire. I wonder why we are giving OS upgrades such a free pass here anyway, since they are notorious for this.
Honestly the track has ruined most street riding for me. While it’s cool to go for a ride in the hills, the street is not the track. There is just no rush like the track.
Thank you for this service!
I used to ride as well, but before smartphones were so ubiquitous. Nowadays, when I see so many drivers glued to their phones while driving (it's shockingly common), I just can't imagine putting my life into their hands.
If by "all the time" you mean "every couple of quarters", you might be right:

"The Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) was down 396.26 points, or 2.63%, at 14,647.71, set for its worst day since May 12."

But by my measurement, no, 2% is a really bad day. The 2% isn't the news anyway, it's the "why" that's the news, and that is left as an exercise for the reader.
We already have waaaaaay more empty houses than homeless people, so that seems like kind of a huge side effect from speculation / investment that is terrible for normal people.

Can someone answer why any developer would ever create low income housing when margins on luxury condos / McMansions are so high?

Neoliberal capitalism is totally failing at efficiently providing housing to anyone other than the rich, but sure, lets just keep sucking up to developers
I think you misunderstand the use of 'free'.

In the USA, free can be used to mean free to the consumer, but paid by someone else.

The US has uncontrolled education costs, a surplus of irrelevant college degrees, and many object to taxes to pay for others.

For example, If someone can't afford to buy a house and support a family, in part due to taxes, they understandably wouldn't want to pay more taxes to so that someone else can enjoy some fanciful degree.

There is an abundance of very good low cost colleges, but many advocate that elite colleges with marble walls that cost 1-200k+ should be payed for with public funds
>The entire system is broken in my opinion. Service provision should be more skills-focused, and less degree-focused, and deregulated to allow more competition in the types of services and professional identities that exist.

In a country with a medical system that is already too profit-minded and with a population that is growingly anti-expert, this has the potential to go catastrophically wrong. We don't need to make it easier for people to sell horse paste and essential oils as miracle cures. So while reform may be needed, we would also need to be mindful that making it easier to provide medical services will also empower people with misaligned motives to take advantage of people.
This is done by design. Constraining the supply while demand steadily increases is a recipe for increasing the salaries and the prestige of being a doctor.

What's the medical equivalent of 'code schools'? There isn't any because you can't practice medicine without a license in the United States.
We are using Altinity too. Great support up to now. We are about to go live with it. For us (see my bio for company link) having a company manage the cluster was paramount. We just want to use the data and API, not manage the machines/VM's and k8s clustering stuff.
> expected a 10% correction

I love how Wall Street people love to use the word "correction" instead of "crash" to make themselves feel better.
If you're confident that it rebounds tomorrow, you should be buying.
Crushing a device is a normal response from someone who needs to stop hidden device tracking and cannot afford to possibly get it wrong and have some tracking slip through.
Yep. I moved my allocation away from bonds and into equities today, a small amount. I don't think this is necessarily the bottom, but the past month has seen a healthy down turn in equities to balance the record growth that preceded it for a year and a half.
I don't know if this is a problem? I am perfectly happy focusing on my career and my hobbies and not worrying about home repairs, insurance, taxes, natural disasters, etc.

It is more financially and emotionally rewarding for me to prep leetcode, solve software problems, etc. than it is to deal with home renovations, plumbing repair, etc. on a home.

Plus the flexibility of location is huge. I can follow the job market much easier if I am not locked into an address.
At least on CarPlay, there is that option, but you have to use voice for anything that isn't gas and a couple of other categories.
Those are classics though. Also why do you need 650cc? Isn't 250 enough?
Did you forget about all the wall street falls stories from the year 2020?

2% isn't really a story. VIX is under 30 right now. There's nothing crazy going on in terms of volatility yet. Maybe tomorrow things will be bad but... lets not go chasing after scary stories yet.

I think if VIX spikes to 100 (as it has in the past: when crisis start to happen), then we can talk. But for now, its premature to cast any doom or gloom about this situation.
Too true.

Scale becomes an excuse for avoiding responsibility, whereas unfulfillable responsibilities should be a reason to not scale.
You should be looking at 2000-2010 japanese bikes, not classics for nostalgia's sake. Kawasaki ninja's will run you $1,300 - $3,000 and get 50-70mpg.

"Despite being only 12% of the American population, there are more black people in prison than whites."

There are also more men in prison than women. Does it necessarily follow that men are oppressed?
If it was Oliver Sacks' Awakenings then it is non-fiction, though it did get turned into a movie.
I don't think there's a downside to getting a title bump, especially when that title bump comes with (it seems) few additional responsibilities. Having management experience on your resume makes it easier to get hired as a manager in the future.

That being said, I'd really think about what your goals are with respect to your career. Is management what you want in the future? If so, do you particularly care if you get there as fast as possible?

Life isn't all about moving up the ladder at work. Pick the option that makes you happiest, because ultimately that's what matters. Personally, I'm taking the 40% bump with no additional responsibilities because I have no interest in being a manager. If the money is good and you like what you're doing, there's not necessarily a reason to keep moving up the ladder.

I just bought a Iphone 12 Mini (from Iphone SE Gen 1, which is the better phone btw) the day before the CSAM flurry started. I will not be upgrading my OS this year and will be switchching to Linux device this winter (Pinephone most likely). Good luck and thanks for all the -ish Apple.

WTF is a marketing strategy and how is it different from a plan?
How exactly do they get to operate that lean? It seems the most straightforward way is by paying employees less.
"better start finding and implementing real solutions to housing prices right now"

They can't. Providing supply will suffer the wrath of BANANA/CAVE/NIMBY anywhere you dream of living. Constraining demand will either get you voted out of office or devastate your political network or both, depending on which policy you attempt. You're competing with a whole planet full of people that want to live here and have more means than you.

Seek property where demand is lower and development isn't effectively outlawed. Forget any livable cities or high population states. For 99% of you that means living far away from your preferred locale among people you probably loath. If that's not acceptable then keep renting or live in a van.

The good news is many of you can work remote. That is an affordance you can leverage to great benefit.
Perhaps the bigger story is Evergrande, which is shaping up to be Lehman 2.0 in China. There is a lot of uncertainty about how the CCP will respond, and what the cascading effects will be on the global economy.

Can this be done to get list of blogs posted here with topic analysis?
This is really incredible!

A while ago I created something adjacent to this that looks for hacker news review of books on goodreads
(https://github.com/spookyuser/hacker-reads)

So I'm very curious how you managed to find book titles, I ran into a lot of issues trying to figure out, for example, with "Clean Code" whether to search for "Clean Code" or "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" since people mentioning the book used both instances. And of course someone mentioning just "Clean Code" might be referring to the concept not the book. I ended up settling on `${titleMinusColon} - ${author}` but I'd love to know what your approach was given that you used deep learning to search.

EDIT: Just read your comment below on your approach, very interesting!
> But because they lose money, the government has to subsidize them in order to encourage hospitals to run them at their current levels.

I have no doubts they are capable of losing money, on paper at least, especially when spending more means they can get a subsidy from the government.
