This is a really cool concept. There's a great crowdsourcing paper [1] that I think will really help with your framing. Have been studying this space for close to a decade.

Some first-pass thoughts:

- when I click "try to solve demo tasks" I'm presented with a loading dialogue, "waiting for a task to work on..." and nothing else. Do you think it would be helpful for you to write a few demo tasks yourself as some "control tasks" to see how people would interact?

- for creating a task, I think it would be useful to specify the language / framework - your example is Python, but what if I want help on Rust or JS?

- while I can see benefit to hidden tests, if they are validation criteria by which the freelancer's output is measured by, could this introduce gotchas?

- it's unclear to me whether price and max development time have a relation; am I defining a gross price for the task, and a maximum time to fulfill, or a max price per minute? I assume the former, but it's important to clarify.

- what do you think about a "share to stackoverflow" button or something similar?

- I really like the no-nonsense signup flow. Email and that's it. Nice.

Maybe file management will map closer to revision control one day. Autosave would be the equivalent of a regular commit, closing the document would be a tagged commit of some sort. Your "hitting undo until returning to last saved state" would then be a single step, reverting to a timed, possibly named point.
While the article does have a point, it's too soon to conclude why some places had more or less covid infections/deaths.

If you look at the overall global picture - location, climate, size, population, demographics, education, GDP, mask mandates, ... - there is no clear conclusion, it's a causal mess.

It's safe to say that at this moment nobody can predict where a covid wave will hit and how big it will be, outside a very general sense - that it might be bad in the winter in unvaccinated places.
The coincidences are generally amplified by the fact that apps generally do send location data, when you visit friends you generally talk about stuff you've been looking at lately, so it certainly plausible that linking profiles based on proximity and similarity of interests would mean that there's a much higher chance that advertising interests spread from one user to another, merely by geography.

Shitty jobs will have to get better, probably. This may mean that areas of the economy that depended on cheap mistreated labor shrink (eg the price of berries will go up), but that would be a good thing, morally.
I suspect most differences will be explained by what counts as a COVID death.
I loaded trucks earlier in life for a few years and loved it. Shit pay, hard work, good camaraderie, very satisfying end result. Would I want to do it for a career? No way. Did I learn a ton about the pleasures of hard work and a good team? Absolutely. I’d actually directly attribute that job and a couple others as the foundation for what it took to build a business of my own.

So many of the comments in this thread are so absolutely horrifying to me. Bunch of spoiled people thinking there isn’t a space for entry level jobs, like they’ve never held one themselves.

That being said, would I have jumped on the unemployment train back then if it got bumped up due to a pandemic? Definitely. Do I think people should advocate for living wages? Absolutely. Twenty years ago when I had my last entry level job, cost of living was half what it is now, but pay has only gone up by 50%. There are real issues, but they aren’t due to jobs being “demeaning”, they are with wages not keeping up with inflation.
Class segregation (by economic level and within genders mayhaps), and racial segregation. And one could argue with the OPs "sharding" it is already in effect now.
there does seem to be some kind of push against it, as if it's either triggering to anyone who hasn't seen one in real life, or maybe the ui designer is afraid someone will think they're old and out-of-touch?

But people will return to work once free stuff is over. And it is over now. In a month or so there will be a glut of workers again once people realise that their rent is due and free money is no longer hitting their accounts.

I so agree; I tried/am trying to write an Android provider - currently just have app (un)installation working, and not very well, I expected settings management to be the hard part, but egh.

Why can't everything have nice public APIs! And, while I'm at it, some sort of all-encompassing ticketing system, hell even if it were Jira. 'Pothole', assign local council. Blocked on '2021 roadworks funding increase', backlogged. Assigned to councillor. Won't fix. Ok - maybe I'm not making it sound great, but at least you could see some reasoning, and what the blockers are. Follow the chain to work out that 'communal lobby needs repainting' hasn't been acted kn by building management company because, ultimately, of global supply chain disruption and the contractor's supplier's supplier can't get any paint ingredients.
I think that's naive of you.

Why they will get done when they are priced sufficiently above doing nothing silly.

And that in turn will spur development of automation instead of Bezos like corner cutting across our entire society.

Now if those low wage to minimum wage gigs came with solid health insurance and a social safety net I might have a colder heart here but honestly I'm glad they're finally figuring out just how rigged the game has been against them all along.

To be fair, by worshiping the affluent and hoping that one day they will be among them when they almost certainly will never be, they played their part in enabling the system that holds them down, but it seems we're moving to the next chapter here at last.

Ask HN: One page dashboard Haskell product that was posted here
There was a product (I believe it was written in Haskell) that was posted here few months ago. It was for product managers and I think it was using JIRA to showcase the abilities (with plans to add more tools). It was like a dashboard, showing all useful JIRA stuff on one page.

I have searched and tried all possible words I can think of, no luck.

Does anyone remember what it was?
This is great! I've been half-barely-following IPFS development for a few years now but I think this is a salient use case that I could actually see myself using.

I think also with IPFS i can share files with peers pretty easily? It's nicer than uploading to a filesharing site, and easier than setting up a torrent.

So, what's next @sixtyfourbits? Is there a read-only wikipedia on ipfs yet?

edit: found it, but I think it's not searchable https://en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org/wiki/
I use a Moto G7 Power with Lineage. I have the minimum Google services required as the push notifications weren't great without and battery usage was higher.

As born & raised in ex-USSR... West music didn’t turn youth against USSR. Rebelling youth just used West music as a tool to show off. It was same rebellion as in West or at any point in history. Youth against stupid rules imposed by elders. It was just completely opposite politically compared to West counterparts at the time.

But that bit show author’s bias very well. As ex-USSR metal head, visiting West festivals was complete culture shock how different attitude is. Yet the spirit is very similar.
This took vouching to be able to reply. People, if what the commenter said were all that wrong, it should be pretty fucking easy to post a coherent and convincing rebuttal. Just downvoting in stead shows that it's the downvoter, not the downvoted, who lacks good grounds for their opinion.

And the retroactive downvote sprees of other comments -- which I've also seen before, so don't even try to deny their existence -- are just beyond despicable. Shame, shame on anyone who is enough of an asshole to do shit like that.
I don't know about other languages, but in Kotlin these are normally inlined, which means no allocation.
A note for those talking about it going non-free downthread, that's apparently fairly recent and a sad example of central board control going closed behavior. From https://openhospitality.network:

>Open Alternative to WarmShowers.org - contributors to the community-built WarmShowers Android app, first released in 2012, before any WS board existed (2015), with which the community has grown, and whose access was cut off after WS board closed backend code (ca. 2017) and released a new paid app (2020), effectively excluding from the community members who access the platform from mobile devices only and for whom the fee for the new app is unaffordable (i.a. long-distance bike tourers and hosts from countries with less developed infrastructure). The devs and other community members made previously many attempts to inform the board about the situation.

I haven't dug into the links and it doesn't seem to have been discussed on HN before, but it sounds like an unfortunately typical story. Of course, with each time that happens communities learn a bit about how to react differently going forward which I hope will bear fruit.
As per my comment below, it's not just stagnation - I was ok with where they were 5 years ago - it's that they've made an active effort to degrade the experience. Instead of clicking once in Gmail to start a video call, there is now some janky system where it starts a 'meet' and sends my mom an email asking her to join it. An email! When both of us are sitting there with Gmail open.
Which seems to be a reasonable human decision -- do you want to be the person that blocked your colleague from getting a promotion?

You don't see a problem with infrastructure providers cultivating vendor lock-in in order to wield the ace-in-the-hole of deplatcorming when the time is right a problem?

Given, it was Gab and Parker's problem for not going multi-cloud; but there is something specifically untenable to me about this whole "my entire infrastructure is now dead to you in 48 hours" sort of thing that Gab and Parler went through. Yes, it's a matter of contract law because they accepted the ToS as is, but I don't see anywhere that actually services alternative terms pipelines either.
Lawyers aren't that pedantic. That's why law isn't just some computer program. The point is that human interpretation is important ie: terms like "best efforts", "reasonable doubt", etc.

What you're describing would likely not pass as being a reasonable interpretation of the license.
Which is why I like Autosaves that save a copy. Blender for example autosaves project files into it's own location (and keeps that location clean). If you have a crash you can still go for that autosave file and it works in most cases – but it isn't saved in the folder you are working in.

For certain programs this would be overkill of course, but for others it would be quite cool.
ok cool, thx!
There is no dichotomy here.

If you know the candidates beforehand, you can bully them before the election, see who wins nevertheless, and bully those again.

Having some of them withdraw is also useful, it's a numbers game.
Wow I hadn't considered other companies doing what Amazon has done with sharing home wifi. That's a really good point.
I doubt that German parents put in a lot of resources for 7-10 year olds to pass tests. I guess private language classes can be a thing. But if it's anything similar to Hungary, kids with bad performance can also get extra afternoon help from the actual school teachers for free and kids of working parents can stay in school until later in the afternoon, working on homework under supervision etc.

In my experience academic competition is way less cutthroat than what I hear from the US, India, China etc.
I would like metrics that leave out the initial spike in Sweden from an unfortunate early spike in deaths from senior homes/care facilities. In a connected global economy it may be hard for a small country to shield itself from economic ripple effects, but I wonder if at least the excess deaths metrics would look significantly better without that early spike, so that we can talk about whether a smaller set of measures strike a better balance between freedoms and public safety.

Another interesting angle to examine internationally is natural immunity. For example India had a large delta spike when the variant first appeared, and since then they have had a very low number of cases, and are transitioning to treating the virus as endemic. A recent sero survey found that 90% of people in Mumbai have antibodies (https://www.reuters.com/world/india/almost-90-people-indias-...). Given the low infection fatality rate for those who are healthy and under 50, I wonder if that population should just go about their lives freely to develop natural immunity, which would then make it harder for everyone else to get infected.
Nice, is it open source? Can we learn from this implementation? Is there any documentation?
There are a lot of developments around using Kubernetes as an IaC platform for the reasons in your comment. The combination of a standard API model in CRDs + the controller model maps nicely to managing infrastructure and exposing resources to developers.

<https://crossplane.io> just graduated to CNCF Incubation and each of the cloud providers are working on K8s controllers and code generators (like Amazon Controllers for Kubernetes, Google Config Connector, and the Azure service operator).
Presumably they make more money with the user-hostile version and the user isn't paying so...
Ok, so it makes sense that you can build certain financial derivatives out of it.

However, there is no explanation of how you build an ‘organization’ out of this.

> Law doesn't stop people from breaking laws or not upholding contracts in the same way that code on the evm doesn't force users to interact with it (people break laws and get arrested after the fact and get liquidated all the time).

Agreed. However this Subthread is a follow on to this earlier comment from another commenter:

“Because it can be enforced without being tied to a specific jurisdiction, expensive lawyers and army of accountants.”

And it seems like you are saying this isn’t true.
You can indeed jump to the method definition in IDEA, although getting the IDE to a good point of dealing with implicits, typeclasses, and their ilk has been a long road.
This has little value to me as it will likely take me longer to write the unit tests (asserts) than most of the functions I'd ask to be written.

If you give me a way to live a documentation link and a register for api access link, I could do more meaningful units of work using my app's public and private apis.

That's assuming the audio gets uploaded. For the purposes of serving more relevant ads, simple hotword detection need only be good enough to distinguish eg Nike vs Adidas, and could be done locally.

> Actually, article content doesn’t match the title … best predictor is fluid intelligence

On the contrary, the title, for both this submission and the article, emphasizes the “learning” phase, while you’re citing the success outcomes bit. So not actually.

On learning, the article says:

Learning: When the six predictors of Python learning rate (language aptitude, numeracy, fluid reasoning, working memory span, working memory updating, and right fronto-temporal beta power) competed to explain variance, the best fitting model included four predictors: language aptitude, fluid reasoning (RAPM), right fronto-temporal beta power, and numeracy. This model was highly significant [F(4,28) = 15.44, p < 0.001], and explained 72% of the total variance in Python learning rate. Language aptitude was the strongest predictor, explaining 43.1% of the variance, followed by fluid reasoning, which contributed an additional 12.8% of the variance, right fronto-temporal beta power, which explained 10%, and numeracy scores, which explained 6.1% of the variance.

TL;DR: For “learning”, language aptitude was the strongest predictor, explaining 43.1% of the variance, followed by fluid reasoning, which contributed an additional 12.8% of the variance…
Personally, I don't buy this argument. Economics doesn't care about your feelings or your dreams. If you need money to pay your bills and the only way to get that money is to work a shit job, you will work the shit job.

Three things changed during the pandemic: 1) the government paid a huge amount of money to people to not work for a long time, 2) people got used to living much more cheaply than they had before due everything being closed, and 3) the immigration and trade market shifted significantly. So suddenly you have a large number of people who, at least temporarily, have options that they didn't have before and who probably aren't competing with the same size labor pool that they did before.

The whole narrative that Americans are suddenly waking up and realizing that they should all be entrepreneurs and follow their dreams is at best a feel-good second-order effect. It's a nice story, but the only reason new business starts are so high right now is because there were so many business closures last year. I'd love to be proven wrong on this, but I just haven't seen the data or economic theory to support this video's position.
Math is easier to understand with symbols if you've been trained in what all the symbols and syntax means, and virtually impossible to understand if you haven't. This is easy to miss because for the most part we have one unified syntax taught in most the world.

Words may not be the optimal format to express equations, but are the lowest denominator that would allow everyone to understand if they knew the concepts.

That should illuminate why your opinion and other people's opinion of this differ. You likely each have different relative opinions and skills reading syntaxes like this.

The model in NL is that the tracks aren't fixed, and most schools offer all tracks (or a subset) in the same building, so switching tracks doesn't necessarily mean losing friends. We also have 4 secondary education tracks, not two; in ascending order:

- VMBO-praktijk (applied vocational education, 4 years)

- VMBO-theoretisch (theoretic vocational education, 4 years)

- HAVO (general high-school education, 5 years)

- VWO (university-prep high-school education, 6 years)

Also, the specialization doesn't happen until they're 14, and students are free to switch if they meet the grades. If they get sufficient marks across the board, they can "upgrade" to the next track, or if they'd have to repeat the current year they can sometimes choose to downgrade a track instead.

Finally, students can re-enroll in the higher track after graduation as well (starting from the penultimate year). It's not uncommon for someone to complete their VMBO-T track first, then re-enter the HAVO track and get a HAVO certification in six years instead of the nominal five (or complete the VWO track in 7 years that way). As said, not everyone learns at the same pace and I think this setup gives many students lost of opportunities for a good outcome.

> In the late 1800s New Britain, Connecticut was known as the Patent Capital of the world because so many patents were issued to those in the vicinity.

Which probably had more to do with the US officially endorsing patent theft and even paying out premiums to people who brought them stolen technology/knowledge.

Not because the US was so respecting of other countries patents, quite the opposite was actually the case [0].
