Taking devil’s advocate here, but people claim that automated enforcement has equity concerns, privacy concerns and immigration concerns. Again, these aren’t my arguments, but:

There’s concern that automated enforcement is a regressive punishment that unduly burdens low-income motorists. There’s a belief that these cameras will be concentrated in low-income or minority neighborhoods.

The privacy concerns are fairly obvious, people are concerned the government is building a database of vehicle locations.

And the immigration concerns are that information could be fed back to ICE to detain undocumented immigrants.

However if you read the enabling legislation, a lot of these concerns are addressed through data retention, data sharing and safety standards (i.e. tickets can only be issued at 9 MPH over the limit and there must be a warning sign.)

I also think an unspoken part of the opposition is some people feel they can talk a cop out of writing a ticket, but they can’t argue with a machine.
Pretty cool read. My biggest problem with T9word is Spelling. If you misspell something on a full keyboard, the other person may be able to ges by sounding it out. T9word would throw out a word that would be no where near what you want. 'Ges' would become 'her' and the other user would never think 'guess' was the intended word.

My 2nd biggest problem with T9word is you need to look at the screen to verify the word you wanted is the one guessed. The other t9 keyboards allowed the user to type without looking at the screen. (Such as under the desk during class )
Covid, burnout, opioids, and the commandment that we should feel guilty and shitty about all the privileges (real or imagined) that we were born with. The killer epidemics of our time.
I think there is another angle to this, which is that the distinctions between "being at work" and "clocking out" have, for many people who work online all day (and especially for many new to WFH people these past 2 years), faded and faded until now people feel like they are permanently on-call, permanently at the whim of their employer's/manager's/colleague's demands.

A solution, in addition to interacting with real people in person more, is to push back hard and rigidly control when and how your work makes contact with the rest of your life.

Personally, I'm a zero contact after work hours kind of guy. When my end-of day hits, I will not answer a single thing that is work related. My colleagues have learned to accept it and the world has not ended or the company failed. People are hired and paid accordingly to respond to off hours emergencies. I am not one of those people.

Obviously, people will have different roles and relationships with their work, so this type of thing won't work for everyone. But the key is more that you take matters into your own hands and that your interactions with your work become the result of a decision you make.
It's an interesting article but I am not a fan of some of the self contradiction. On the one hand the article states that jo operations are no big deal, the CPU can pipeline it and execute it cheaply, but on the other hand, removing them results in code that runs twice as fast.

Another detail I think is important is that injecting the stamp is not the same as writing a proof and informing the compiler that some property is true. You're doing what other languages would call an unsafe operation and asserting that something is true. Providing a proof would be interesting and some languages do have the ability to express such proofs (a static type system is one way, among others).

That said, it's still interesting to see details about how to get a dynamic language like Ruby to extract some static properties from the source code. I did some work on this at Microsoft when they were working on IronPython, it's definitely challenging stuff. At the time the consensus was that the pay-off wasn't worth it, it ends up being a lot of work to extract very small guarantees and that one is almost certainly better off off-loading performance related code to C# (or C in the case of CPython). But that was 15 years ago, it's nice to see progress being made.
> while I think he would be eventually good at manual QA (review of the product and finding faults), not sure those opportunities exist any more.

Take a look at governments. They often have a requirement that certain groups are able to use their sites with screen readers and whatnot and tend not to be very sophisticated when it comes to automation.

My last job was in the government and had manual QA staff to cover all the odd edge cases.
Depending how v4 over v6 implemented. NAT64/DNS64 don't use CGNAT for v4/v4 (but use v4/v6 NAT, may call proxy), but 464XLAT, MAP-E, and DS-lite is still CGNAT.
I prefer v4/v4 CGNAT over NAT64/DNS64 for transparency. Some CGNAT allow to forward port (but on limited range).

Burnout, I feel, has more to do with how motivated and satisfied we are with our vocation, than whether or not we are “busy.”

As many company owners will tell you, they have no problem with a crazy busy life, because they are so motivated and fulfilled by their work.

For me, I was an engineering manager for 25 years. It was actually long periods of ennui, interrupted by short tornadoes of insanity and stress.

Frankly, I enjoyed the insanity and stress, more than the sitting around, waiting to be useful. I hated it so much, that I tasked myself with a great deal of extracurricular work; just to avoid going nuts (some would say it was not avoided successfully).

Nowadays, I’m basically “retired.”

Except I’m not. I work harder, every day (like, 7 days a week), than I did while I was getting paid.

I feel more relaxed than ever.

My idea was instead to do the combinations that you will used in punch cards in computer, and you can push together multiple keys like they have multiple holes in one column, but no actual cards are needed for this method.

(Note: I have never used the computer with punch cards)

I dislike touch screen and voice controls, so using physical keys is better (whether T9 or other methods).
How do you fight it though? Take child beauty pageants, do those still go on? To most sensible people we know it’s disgusting. Yet, as a society, we are unable to develop a consensus sensibility on social media self aggrandizement.

I think we’re still at the tip of the iceberg. With over a billion people, there’s nothing stopping FB from using machine learning and identifying people that literally look like you - ‘here’s a prettier version of you’. Then we’re in real black mirror territory. Perhaps they would even look for slight variations if it triggers too much of an uncanny valley effect.

> As a society we are extremely negligent of threats that cause enormous social harm in the aggregate simply because they don't harm everyone they come into contact with.

Probably. But see also the harm of overly stringent regulation of said threats, with the obvious example being prohibition of alcohol in the US.

So as a society we take reasonable measures to prevent the worst outcomes. In the case of alcohol we have ratcheted up the consequences of drunk driving, limited the drinking age to 21+, etc.
10 companies, and "much younger" than the OP. hmmmmm I wonder.....

That aside, like I said if your experience is true, which i have my doubts, it does not match mine. Most companies I know of even if they have flex time want their people to start before 9am, and generally do not allow 2-3hr lunches as normal course. Now if you only worked as a contractor this may be different but a salaried position employed directly for a company... Notta gonna happen every often.

At most of the companies I have worked for you would be put on performance review and then terminated.

You're introducing hot, divisive political topics which are completely extraneous in this thread. When people do that, what happens is that the hot divisive topic catches flame and we get a big, repetitive flamewar, drowning out the quieter, more obscure, and more intellectually interesting topic. That's the opposite of what we want on this site, which is supposed to be for curiosity, not perpetuating pre-existing battles.

One thing that helped me is not to care so much about my employer's goals.

It's almost heretical. But once you embrace this mindset, it does wonders. Or at least, it has for me so far.

I think a lot of us want to be proud of the work we do, and we feel that if we slack off, then we shouldn't be proud. But it's the other way around. I think the slackers have it right.

You're probably not going to get rich from working a day job. You're replaceable, and if you left your job tomorrow then you'll soon be forgotten. This is true for the majority of software engineers.

In that context, why do so many of us take on so many unnecessary responsibilities? It's tempting to say "Well, my employer assigned them." But how often do you tell them no, or try to present a different approach that just so happens not to involve you?

I know someone who is a chronic yes person. They will almost never say no, and they're pretty stressed day to day because of it. Whenever I point out that they're taking on too much, they say that they disagree and that it's their career.

That's true, but they won't get rich from that career, so I don't understand why they care so much about it.

Just remember to say 'no' for yourself from time to time. You often don't need to take on as many responsibilities as you have.
A few things that I wished I knew when I first started.

Never outshine your boss. Spread credits around but make sure your boss knows you are responsible privately.

I learned this the hard way.

People overestimate what they can achieve in one year, but underestimate what they can achieve in ten year.

It's OK to say NO. To your boss, to your friends and to your family.
Any good idea can be implemented stupidly. Are you trying to say copyright periods should be reduced, or is that this is evidence that they shouldn’t exist?
VyOS can run containers with podman, maybe Jellyfin or Plex would work on that. Honestly I think the job of a router should not include running a those kinds of apps.

Right, not an escape hatch for human specialness though. We haven't seen anything that's uncomputable in physics yet either. Quantum computation "only" gives polynomial speedups so far.
There would be a huge backlash if they tried. Standard trailer connectors combine the brake light with the turn signal. (the brake like turns on both turn signals 100%) Many trucks just send enough wires (which are expensive these days) to run the trailer and tie the taillights off of those.

Thus to require amber to the rear means the standard trailer connector needs to be replaced, then some sort of grade period for old trailers, and - well I doubt I could think of all the complex factors required. In 30 years we might be able to do it.
I've realized recently that I was a lot more vigilant and anxious about my weight when I was younger. I'm not really that different in weight now but I also know when I was younger I was a lot more conscientious about calories etc.

Im also pretty sure there's something related to microbiome. I've had periods of needing to gain weight as well as lose, and they were bookmarked by infection.

factually they are also the most violent and warmongering, and have caused the most global chaos, both in the past and the present.

the benefits of unrestricted freedoms and open elections have also never been as questionable as now, so you should not be surprised that others do not also believe that those are universally considered good.
Wow, how cringey. They reference "standard" as not being used the same way, but instead like "high quality standard". Do they not know that high quality itself is a verified standard, that's why it's sought after? Just weird and writes like a child.
Yeah it's getting to the point where I am wary about getting too close to other white people - especially in a 'professional' context like software - because they tend to react badly if you don't self-hate as well.
I would say many white-collar workers are really only able to be productive a lot of the time for 4 hours a day, if they're lucky. I think it's more often far less for people. I don't think the majority of people are lazy, or burnt-out; I think there's just so much extra crap outside of their core tasks that it's very difficult for people to work on something that feels like they are honestly making something, or working towards something substantial.

Meetings, administrative tasks, emails, chat messages, more meeting requests, for most people the default setup has all of this coming at them like a firehose, and then bizarre expectations build and build like sedimentary rock into this seabed of constant immediate response times and work without productivity, a feeling of working with nothing at the end to justify it.
To be fair, the author does acknowledge this, though he doesn't cite Gauss.

No. There's no evidence there was any escalation or confrontation with China. It's at most like the situation with Nixon in 1974, though there's no evidence that Trump ever thought of using them. [0]

I do think the problem people tend to underestimate is that American control of nuclear weapons may in future be less stable due to political strife. That is doubtless a troubling idea for some of our potential adversaries.

Deletionism vs inclusionism is a balance, and i don't know if wikipedia has the right balance, but i'm glad its not everything2. If "everything goes" content-wise, then you lose consistency and quality, which is a big part of what makes wikipedia great.
The article doesn't say, but te method described in the article is called a notch filter. Here are some links on it, [0], [1], [2], [4]. Instead of cutting a sharp edge on the frequency domain, it's better that the filter blur the edge to avoid introducing too much artifacts, and this is called a Gaussian notch filter.

Anyway here is another method, that also targets peak regions on frequency domain for removal but is based on a median filter instead, [5]

The ratio of alcoholics to alcohol consumers is probably significantly higher for teens than for adults.
I'm honestly of the opinion that the Internet in its present form is much harder on teens than what came before, and Instagram is only one of the myriad of places with potentially toxic cesspools in them. And not the worst.

For our teen, it was Tumblr that was the first and the worst -- content and conversations on there went dark really quickly, and without our knowledge. Instagram is actually where things were redirected after it became clear a blanket social media ban wasn't going to work. At least on there the focus has (for her) so far mostly been on visual art and self-expression and fandoms and it's a slightly more moderated platform.

I grew up with BBSs, MUDs, MOOs, IRC, etc. and figured I'd be set as a parent for moderating use of this stuff. But nope, it's been probably the worst struggle for us in parenting so far.
Nobody's getting "special cased". We cut lots of people lots of slack for lots of different reasons, and it has nothing to do with secretly agreeing with them.

When I tell people we've cut them lots of slack in a comment like the GP, it's a polite way of letting them know that they're close to being banned and an attempt to persuade them into changing their behavior. We prefer persuasion where possible and try to take that approach in most cases.

We've cut you a lot of slack as well. You've repeatedly posted abusively using multiple accounts, have flouted every request to stop, and in fact have only turned up the volume on all the things we've asked you not to do. Continuing to do that is going to get you banned regardless of how many awful things you say about moderators, HN, YC, etc. We moderate HN less when people do that, but "less" does not mean zero—that would basically mean carte blanche.

Would you please stop this ideological war campaign? Ideological battle is not what HN is for. That is the case independently of which ideology you favor, as anyone who looks even a little objectively at the moderation history here can easily see for themselves.
This is true. When I was growing up, most buses didn’t have cameras.

> You seem to be complaining that some percentage of recipients have moved past the arbitrary line, while ignoring that they still can't afford food and shelter.

No that isn't at all what I was trying to point out (or "complain" about).

If I can refer to the two stats you listed as "before-assistance" and "after-assistance", then all I'm saying is that is terribly misleading to use the "before-assistance" statistic to assert that we aren't doing enough to help people. At least use the "after-assistance" statistic in order to measure the effectiveness of the programs.

If you don't use the "after-assistance" metric then it doesn't matter how much assistance you give, the "before-assistance" number won't change and you'll continue to have people "living in poverty" even though that really isn't the case (because they have received assistance).
Well true, that's often not low hanging fruit, especially if its about historical figures from historically underrepresented groups, as you have to dig deeper to find information on them
I am in my early thirties and have been a hobby developer since I was about twelve. I've always wanted to write code as a daily job, but that idea fades further and further as I settle into how little I actually have to do in my current position for pretty good pay.

The idea of "legacy" and the "craft" certainly poke at me often. I am able to develop software for myself that automate much of my job, allow me time to spend with my young family, and maintain my home. I sometimes wish I had the title, and had something I could point at and tell my son "Dad helped build that," one day, as my father did when we would pass a new sub-division of homes that he helped build. However knowing how much drive it takes to stay on top of the newest stack, etc, almost makes me want to strive to stay where I'm at: 40 hours and no more, relaxed, working from home, being with family, with the same salary I would have as a mid to senior dev... life certainly isn't always about the easy decisions.
