By the same token, you could move to another country, no? The problem with this logic is that having a choice of jobs is often a privilege of having money in the first place (just like relocating to another nation). You probably can't turn down work, no matter how bad the "deal", if you need that money for food and shelter. So for many (most?) people the supposed free choice of employment is illusory.

This gets even worse when you consider how competition tends to drive companies to all be shitty to employees in similar ways. It's now really common for shifts to be scheduled algorithmically and on short-notice in fast food. If you're just entering the job market or have little experience, how do you "choose" to work for a company that won't schedule you for last-minute 2 hr shifts or have you "clopen" at the behest of some scheduling algorithm?
Okay, I'll bite :)

Did you pull that kind of income over a year or longer?

How long did it take you to get there?

Were there major jumps/realizations along the way, or was it linear-ish growth over time?

(My own situ: started freelance consulting right before having two kids in a pandemic, and so have done near-zero bizdev & make about what a non-FAANG W2 employee would, if not a little less. For other readers--this has still been worthwhile, I've learned a _ton_ and am pressing on to give this a shot while less personally compromised.)

Tolerating the spread of false and manipulative information and opinions does much worse things than destroying "curious conversation." As i said - society is sitting on a high horse with its choice to tolerate nonsense for the sake of "guidelines" and inclusion and that has proven detrimental for everyone but the undertakers.

Do you have a button in the admin panel that will save the next person who believed that they're part of the "overwhelming majority of adults are at no risk?"
Isn't it the first sense of the verb to compile and a return to the original way of doing things ?

(transitive) To put together; to assemble; to make by gathering things from various sources.

I think the reason for this sort of response is that people are worried (and reasonably so, in my opinion), that people will say, "I'm pretty sure I had covid back in February of 2020 so I don't need the vaccine!"
Piracy is something that some powerful entities would prefer you didn't do. Some people may consider it legitimate, some don't, but from a business point of view the problem is that you still have some big guys with big budgets against you.
Some areas here in Louisiana haven't recovered from 2020's hurricanes let alone 2021. It's a complete shitshow with people waiting a year or longer for a new roof.

I've heard talks of a mass exodus from some areas here as people just can't rebuild again if they have to wait a year for materials. Not that I think it's a bad idea to move out of some of these areas, but its a big change from how we normally operate.
We talk about an entire group of protected species, not about hunting. Different legal category.

In Europe is even illegal to harass them. Their fat stains all and smell for weeks and their meat is not really very good. Some similar cetaceans are treated as toxic waste when die in a beach because lot of toxics accumulate easily in the fat.

This is a strange exception to environmental laws that is basically a tantrum of a few people (50.000 against 740 millions of people) and not really justified. Economically is a waste of resources and is bad for local tourism. Moreover this animals don't "belong" to Faroese people. The same whales migrate from Senegal to Iceland. They are so Portuguese, or French, as Danish.
Yeah I think the charset detection needs work.

It understands the "Content-type: text/html;charset=utf-8" -header, and <meta charset="UTF-8">

but not

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

It turns out HTML has a lot of corner cases. I'm constantly marveling at how web browsers hold together as well as they do.
Dehumanising is the Silicon Valley status quo.
It's interesting, because I do my very best work (and am happiest) in an environment of time-pressure, but something about the interview setting causes me to freeze up, lose my tongue, and lose my brain, all at once. If the question is very very easy, the effect is far worse. I've been on the other side of the interview process, and knowing how it might appear just makes this feel all the more traumatic. The brain focuses on the scenario of the interview, instead of the scenario of the question at hand.

I've had successfully interviews where everything flows, and I've had awful interviews where my head inexplicably seizes up. All I'm saying is that the anxiety of interview pressure has very little in common with the anxiety of time-pressure, as far as I can tell. I would take it more as a signal that a person should not be put into negotiations (because that's what an interview really is), rather than that they do not perform under time-pressure.
What were you expecting to see for British? There must be millions of pages containing that term. Anyway the first screenful from Google is unadulterated crap, advertising mixed with the usual trivia questions.

If you are going top claim something is wide of the mark then you really ought to tell us at least roughly where the mark is.
Discourse is an option for a modern forum like experience.
The disconnect is that the questions are not simple. FizzBuzz is great, always worth asking. It’s when people are asked to answer ridiculous questions that gets my goat. One interviewer asked me to develop a lexical parser in a one hour timeframe. This is stupid in the extreme.

It also didn't pay to be optimistic in 1968 or in 1998-1999 (perhaps peak optimism, peak irrational exuberance).

1968-1982, the S&P 500 essentially went nowhere.

1998-2012, the S&P 500 essentially went nowhere.

Those dead periods represent ~28 out of the last ~53 years.

That's a long time for the market to produce mediocre results, especially compared to expectations today.

The long-term chart and valuations of the S&P 500 are looking pretty comical at this point, in terms of irrational exuberance in the present. It's pricing in an extraordinary economic golden era of super growth, which isn't going to happen.

It's not that the information itself is threatening, but people will use the information in a destructive manner. I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that people will likely die from people saying that people don't need to get vaccinated because people will say natural immunity is 'better'.

More context is almost always better.

That kind of pattern is clearly a problem, especially since we only see a sample of the things any regular user posts. Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart? We'd be grateful. I know it's not easy, but if we're to have the sort of forum we're trying for here, all of us need to work on our habits of how we engage with other commenters.

As for this thread, your comment that I replied to was obviously a snarky battle comment, not genuinely interested in what the other person had to say or why they might hold the view they do. That's not curious conversation.

One sign of curious conversation as opposed to internet battle is that people remain able to relate to each other across their differences. If the only way you're able to relate to the other commenter is as an enemy to be defeated, you're not really engaging out of curiosity. We're looking for curiosity-driven conversation here. There are other places to do battle.

These points hardly apply to just you, of course - the problems are all over the place, especially in threads like this. But as the guidelines say: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
Clickbait works both ways.
Please continue to ignore that the whole economy is a house of cards, with the recurrent crisis every few years where taxpayers have to bailout the same people. It seems very sustainable.

Companies have to stop working because the supply chain is a mess? Very reasonable.

Your post doesn't sound like mental gymnastics at all.
Police are typically city or county (latter are sheriffs in most states). Not specifically state government in those cases. There are state police, and usually, state highway patrol.

In that context, this action as described in the article would itself be an interesting counterargument to the SCOTUS decision / Library of Congress Copyright Office finding.
If they are willing to do illegal sex work out of desperation, their inability to earn that income could be far more destructive to the individual than the sex work. That's an uncomfortable truth, and avoiding it leads to a host of harmful prohibitions, whether it's on sex work, work for under minimum wage, micro-housing units that are under minimum floor space ordinances, or buildings that are over maximum density caps, etc.
Assembly is absolutely not the first language I would teach people. It has several severe flaws from a pedagogical perspective.

The first is the number of "magic things that won't be explained until later." Want to output a string to the console? That requires a magic mechanism (syscall) which isn't going to be covered until later. Doing almost anything with strings involves going through function calls (and the concomitant need to put things in specific registers). Mixed code and data? Here's some magic assembly directives! Get it wrong, and your program breaks in really non-obvious ways [1]. (To be fair, Java also scores pretty poor on this metric; a language like Python scores much higher)

The second problem with assembly is that there's a lot of busy work you have to do yourself that serves no functional value. You have to manually allocate registers to variables (which means remembering what r3 means in this section of code); you have to give a unique name to the target of every jump for every if/then/else statement, or loop, or whatnot. Depending on your assembly variant, even "set this register to a large constant" can be a nontrivial undertaking. This severely limits what problems you can assign to students.

[1] I've TA'd intro-to-assembly several times, and I can attest there's quite a few people who struggle with "no, you can't put your data before your code because the OS will try to execute the data as code."

That's just not true.
Easy account switching is the sort of thing that browser extensions would have been developed to cover in the past, something like like RES for Reddit or XKit for Tumblr.

That's obviously less relevant when a majority of users are using desktop or mobile apps rather than browsers, but a plugin interface even for closed-source commercial desktop software used to be far more common than it is now, leaving users dependent on the development team to add features and usability.

I assume this decline is due to security concerns, wanting to be able to develop faster internally rather than needing to continue supporting old APIs for external developers, and marketplaces like Google Play and the App Store not wanting to enable competing marketplaces within the apps they distribute. It's a tradeoff to be sure, and I'm not sure moving past plugin functionality is a bad thing, but I find it a bit sad.

This search engine pretty much takes everything that Google is doing and does the opposite. For instance, Google has decided that "relevant" usually also means "recent". Thus, when searching for something on Google, you mainly get results from blogspam farms and almost never do you see anything more than a few years old.

An implication of this is that old sites tend to disappear (either into obscurity or by being taken down) because Google penalizes them in search rankings. The author of this search engine says, however:

> If a webpage has been around for a long time, then odds are it has fundamental redeeming quality that has motivated keeping it around all for that time.

I don't know that I agree 100% with this (there was lots of crap on the "old" web too), but it makes a certain amount of sense.
That's a useful point.

I think economics play a role as well. Specifically, when the economy increases rewards to education and higher-level thinking, the damage caused by child abuse becomes felt more broadly. It's always been horrible for the individual victims, but it's easier for society to turn a blind eye when it's an easily replaced unskilled child laborer than when it's a young student on a long road to a sophisticated trade.

I think you can see this dynamic in many places. For example, the birthrate goes down when wealth goes up. You invest more in fewer children. That investment includes caring more about ensuring they are treated humanely.

It's always been wrong, but now it's also expensive.

Sounds like I can still do what I need. The only difference being, those configuration files can also be changed via UI which is fine. Thanks for the link.

Okay he was attacked and left for dead by the attackers (although the bystanders who helped said he was dead at that point after the fact) who didn't further attack him before the police arrived or after they arrived. It doesn't make your version any less completely counter-factual because no police were there when Lee was attacked and they did in fact later successfully intervene to stop them doing anything further.
>Umm, no. did you read the article? The early covid supply chain issues were ages ago, the effects of those were gone by last summer.

You mean the article that says a key port in Shenzhen was shut down in May 2021 due to a COVID outbreak? That one?

I'm sorry. I don't think you're too stupid.

It's just that at this point, "Bitcoin is a waste of electricity" comes across as trollish behavior. We've all seen that a million times. It's been explained a million times why that arguably isn't the case. So either engage with the actual argument people are having, or don't say anything.

Saying "bitcoin is a waste of electricity" doesn't contribute to the conversation at all anymore. It's the exact equivalent of posting a comment that says "boo bitcoin" or "bitcoin sucks."

So yeah, if you say that, I'm going to poke at you. And then I'm going to give you the actual argument, in case you haven't seen it. As I did.
Good poker players don't exactly play it safe. They play very cautiously most of the time, but very aggressively when the odds are in their favor. And sometimes they bluff on top of that.
Indeed. I was interested in something like this for iOS but in the end decided to buy an Android phone.

Not saying Android is magically perfect but if emulation is your thing it's clearly the superior platform.
The dishonesty is what sadly lead to the breakdown of one of the greatest friendships I've ever had. Hope he is doing well in life, but I personally have zero tolerance for bullshit, especially when being bullshitted by someone you've trusted for so long who was akin to family.
I see in the instruction they're using iOS 12. Is it possible to run iOS 15? Does the image need to be jailbroken? Is there anything that allows to download and install iOS apps from the app store and run them?

Except you're not hiring a team here. Only a single dev, who may not always have been on teams that have the right focus, and leadership that supported that focus.

What can you tell me about your last job?
Well, I overhauled the configuration GUI.
How did that impact sales?
Err, I don't think it did. It's not a feature we showcase.
Did you at least made the product better?
Actually, no. It just made it more complex and brittle.
Wait, you made the product *worse*?
Could not help it, the execs insisted on XML compatibility.
Maybe they needed it?
No, we had total control over our configuration files.
Why didn't you tell them?
I did. They wouldn't listen.
Why not? You're the expert, you should have convinced them.

I mean, here we need people who can deliver business value.
Well, this time I couldn't. They wouldn't let—

I hope this conversation is not realistic. If it is, and it ever happens to me, I'll be sure to look for another company.
I always install Sumatra when re-installing user devices with Windows, to avoid the Adobe crapware and reduce the attack-surface. Sumatra's inability handle embedded file formats such as flash and cad-drawings in PDF-documents being a feature rather than a problem.

That is just simplistic labeling and stereotype. What were these individuals’ childhoods like and what was their outlook on life in general? Do you even know what their inner self was like?

Addiction usually starts from escapism, and the causality that drugs cause addiction is very far from true.
46.5h to interview at a company? I’m not sure why cream of the crop developers would tolerate that over 5h of interviews. That sounds nearly predatory.
>It's not particularly spicy, but it has absolutely no evidence to support its effectiveness, either as a deterrent or as rehabiliitation.

A strong claim. A few minutes of searching found no strong evidence for or against its effectiveness, or that is superior or inferior to incarceration. Much more seems to have been written about the morality and public opinion of the practice (e.g. [1, 2]). It is known that corporal punishment of children causes developmental harms, but this does not extend naturally to adults.

There's also the annotation features in PDFs which allow me to highlight text and add a comment.

I don't know of any more convenient way to directly attach my thoughts to a specific portion of text. (If there is, I'd genuinely like to know).

And it even works well across multiple devices: I have a folder on my PC that's synced with my phone via syncthing containing mostly PDFs (savend web pages, papers, books, ..) and the annotations I make in those PDFs on my phone are directly available on my PC ... all without using some cloud bullsh*.
I know most of you hate this word, but this is a great example of what privilege looks like: thinking you can solve a problem you have zero experience with, and not including people who do.

Another example:

I was at a hackathon and met this kid who wanted to build a wristband for domestic violence victims so they could push a button and call for help when they were being abused.

Great idea, he wants to use his tech knowledge to help abused spouses! That's fantastic! Nothing wrong with that and it should be supported. But since he has never experienced being an abuse victim, nor did he consult any, he didn't realize what a useless idea this is. (As soon as the abuser knows what the device is, you think they will allow it in the house, let alone take heavy retribution for buying it? Even if it was a subtle/hidden device, being caught with it would mean even more abuse.)

Heart is in the right place, but intellectual arrogance needs some dialing in.
That's.... a really poor comparison, maybe you missed some background on what exactly the interviewer was looking for. Sure, maybe CLI knowledge is going to be useful, but if you're looking for experience with Java because you're going to implement some complex string filtering in it, then the 2nd candidate's solution is literally useless as a comparison point. Also, if you're comparing them directly you're essentially punishing the 1st developer for maybe not having experience with some technology that was particularly well suited for that question.

Would you also have accepted a solution like "I send the file to someone on Mechanical Turk to find the words"? Or "I ask my daughter to look through them and find them"? Or "I ask someone in an interview to write a program to find it out"? Or "I paste it into this online tool that produces statistics of the most common words in some text"?
Sure, but property taxes are usually in the 1%-2% range, whereas capital gains taxes are currently in the 15%-23.8% range, with proposals to increase them to 28.8% or even 43.4%.

Looks good. Interesting that they are "bringing back" mutual tls (after browsers pretty much axed it..).

Is there support on the (deno http) server-side too? Eg: easy to set up mutually trusted, private-/non-ca tls between a deno client and deno server? Perhaps via a self-signed/private CA?
Does it interact with the open web? Are there examples of public-facing profiles one might see?

As Instagram closes down its interoperability with the open web even further (try visiting pages in an Incognito window -- sign-in is rapidly required), it opens the door to photo-sharing sites that are better net-citizens.

Yup, gwbasic and qbasic shipped by default on most PC's, and this didn't exactly hurt their popularity. Similarly, one reason JS is so incredibly popular today is that you can start hacking stuff in it with just notepad and a web browser.
