I'm in Melbourne right now and would not describe the situation as insanity.

Fundamentally it comes down to how much value you assign to a human life, other then your own.

It's been incredibly difficult on a personal level being locked down for so long, particularly with young children in tow, but without doubt the containment measures have saved many thousands of lives. Our main failure has been in obtaining sufficient vaccine supplies, early enough, and therefore dragging all of this out far longer then necessary.
But you can logically group C and D, and then it's not so complex, I would say.
Also how will they determine this part: "Location does factor, however, into PwC employees' pay, Seals-Coffield said. Employees who opt to work virtually full-time from a lower-cost location would see their pay decrease, she added."

What do cloud services have to do with racing a car? Visa sponsors NASCAR. What does a credit card have to with racing a car? Find anything with sponsors and take a look at how many sponsors are tenuously related at best to whatever they are sponsoring. Now, why all the fuss IF AND ONLY IF it has to do with women's breasts?

Your profile says you’re in the Netherlands, which is a completely different place.

You may know this already but here in the US, even though driving is technically a “privilege”, in reality it is a requirement in most locales due to lack of consistent and reliable alternatives. That’s part of why getting a drivers license is fairly easy.

It’s also why your “I’ll have my son shred my license after I turn 70” wouldn’t work unless you were living in a place like NYC or Chicago, or were totally okay with having little social life (dependent on your kids’ and friends’ ability and willingness to drive you to places).
By this logic, anything is enforceable because some people will think it's enforceable. Your point is a valid one, but it's also good to tell everyone that these contracts are not legally enforceable!
1. Doesn’t have to be the same legislation or regulation effort. It’s okay to say “crime penalties shouldn’t be dangerous” as a response to “people who impose penalties on others should be subject to their own penalties” -> “those penalties are dangerous”.

2. Why should I care more about the extrajudicial punishment of cops more than the extrajudicial punishment of the people they abuse?

3. One of the best pieces of political advice I ever got was “demand the impossible”. Anything less is selling short whatever compromise you can achieve and reframing your next attempt. It doesn’t mean you stick to your demand, it just means you start from your principles and adjust from there.
The land owner's incentive to be a bad vs good actor.

There aren't maps of some universal truth as to what habitat is protected for what species.

Many habitats aren't "known" and made protected until the endangered animal is actually discovered, on-site.

The land owner has incentive to prevent that discovery from happening, and therefore has incentive to kill the animals before they can be discovered on his property.

interestingly, that's one of the areas where Ada shines, as you can define your own integer subtype that will help you preserve the semantics (and Ada has, iirc, no implicit casts, so it would require explicit cast to push feet into metres (and it might be made so that such cast would actually convert the values properly)

> Demand would be met with an increase in supply, satisfying all needs for the product and without the "help" of scalpers who sidestep supply-and-demand by artificially creating scarcity to drive up demand for their own profit. This is no help to anyone but themselves.

There's no "artificial" demand. Think about it - the "scalper" isn't going to buy something that they can't sell on, they'd just lose money that way. (Maybe some of them make bad judgements - but they'll naturally go out of business in that case).

> If there's a legitimate demand that will be used, then there's a good case for production to be increased to meet such demand, and all parties who need something would have their needs met.

"Scalpers" improve the quality of that signal and make it easier to increase production with confidence.

> This is also known as cornering the market, a well-known and despised practice

Views on true corners are certainly mixed (there's an argument that it punishes dishonest market makers), but in any case it only applies to buying up the whole supply, which no individual "scalper" does or can.

That’s just confirmation bias on your part, my dude. You’re kinda glossing over the fact you took a chance and it worked out. How many times did you take chances like this on people? Probably not a lot.

You likely hired the other folks not because they were passionate or had some quality you looked for in the other candidate but because they were clearly apt and able to do the job.

I’d also say that there are many people out there that are incredibly intelligent, hardworking, knowledgeable, and just don’t give a single fuck about any business they work for. Most of my peers put me in that group. Don’t be bitter with us - we don’t find the shit challenging or appealing. A lot of us spent years in college grinding at rigorous academics and came out jaded. There’s relatively little left to learn compared to a starry eyed kid who took a single course, barely knows shit as you said, and is being given a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Kid will leave and likely be jaded like the rest. It happens. Mentally, software is a horrible career.
At a previous organization I worked for they spent a LOT of money on Google ads. Same with Twitter and Facebook.

We noticed a lot of the traffic was junk. Fake clicks, from fake accounts. We ran extensive tests to determine the problem.

The conclusion: Just accept that most of the traffic is garbage and factor that in. The dashboards will tell you one thing, the truth is entirely separate. Actual click throughs from real people are far lower than what's reported.

Around 15-20% of traffic was "real". This organization was ok with paying 100% prices for 20% real traffic, which makes the cost per (real) click expensive but they were ok with it. Most small companies cannot adopt that thinking.

I don't know where the "fake" clicks come from but I suspect it's competitors trying to drive down your ad spend and reduce exposure. All of these companies have no interest in fixing the problem. Doing so would cost them money.

No, I'm talking about drawings and paintings, just like I said.

I share your appreciation for, say, the 12th century frescos in the Apse of Sant Climent de Taüll [1], but there's nothing remotely good about the draftsmanship in any way. The best of early medieval painters are solidly outclassed by the primary schoolers of the industrial revolution.

Illuminations, you say? Like the famous drawings in the St. Albans Psalter? [2] Or the great Saxon Benedictional of St. Athelwold? [3] No sense of perspective, or even any recognition of a third dimension. And what the fuck is going on with the anatomy?

Would you frame anything from the Babmurg Apocalypse and put it on your wall? The French [4] and the Germans [5] were no better, and things didn't improve in the 13th century [6].

And then, seemingly overnight, the Renaissance happened and we had masters like Michelangelo setting standards for the rest of history. Explain that?

Except programming is hard enough that we don't need abstractions that make it harder.

Some people say that they think something is wrong with object-oriented programming, but can any alternative that is so hard to explain be better?

There's a real problem in the way people communicate about programming. Lately I've been thinking of the phenomenon where people code something up in Youtube and quickly get lost in the weeds.

(There was that guy who was going to code up the Infocom Z Machine in Verilog and burn it to an FPGA who worked for seven hours and never got the program counter working.)

Opinion: We should reject take-home interview assignment if no feedback is given
Just a thought. I have been through FANG-style interviews and also some that screen with a take-home assignment. Generally I found the screening rounds of FANG to be less time intensive than take-home.

If you are going to reject me after the take-home. Given my time investment wouldn't it be reasonable to ask for feedback? At the very least I can work on it and improve my skills.

We should reject companies with take-home assignments if they do not provide take-home assignments. What do you guys think?
Government isnt there to protect every business from ever going out of business. Sorry but I dont see the argument for compensation. By your argument everyone who has planning controls changed in their neighbourhood should be paid out, tobacco companies should be paid for revenue loss due to taxation and government adverts and anyone with a house built next to them should sue their neighbour for overshadowing and traffic noise. Sorry but its unworkable. Its simply the risks of doing business.

The cool thing about SSI is that it is one of those "traditional" or "orthodox" Web formats that's supported by pretty much every non-minimal webserver, so if you write your templates carefully (avoiding edge cases) your app can be installed on any web server also, and the only difference is the web server's config template.

> they make it possible for people/entities who can afford to waste most money to get them instead of those first/lucky. But how is that a better outcome?

It's not "waste", it's the people who are willing to spend the most money, which are presumably the people who want/need the thing most, so it's better than allocating the thing at random.

> And why should this involve people spending more money, and all the delta going to the person who was first in line or in lucky position to secure a loan and buy off all the supply?

The person who makes a good judgement about what things are underpriced is selling a service to the market and earning their cut. A seller who's paying attention should see the rush and raise their prices (and ideally increase production to match that).

Recently I set up OpenBSD on an old ThinkPad R61i.

Yesterday or the day before I used that machine to do web dev and some system administration stuff, and got more done faster than I usually do on my main machine.

That partially may be because it was just slower, and so I didn't have cycles to waste on HN or whatever else, but it was at least partially because it "just worked" for the stuff that I threw at it.

People exercised just fine before this. I'd classify Tonal as a marginal improvement, at best. I've actually found that removing technology and falling back to simple calisthenics (done properly of course) is having a much greater impact than adding more technology, for various reasons.

This reminds me again how cool phones architecture is.

There’s a huge amount of patents around the idea that you don’t really need to have the power-hungry main AP on all the time. Instead, people get really creative around delegating behavior to cheaper chips to save power and sometimes reduce total BoM cost. For example, one that I worked on was around the idea that you could use a minimally featured yet cheap ble chip to detect when one of your paired devices was near the phone. It would then wake up the beefier chip with the full stack implemented, which saves a suprising amount of power.

Some of the things you can do when you break out of the software-only box are incredible!

If none of that convinced, I now remember that John Carmack (who you quoted!) has advocated functional programming as a way to improve the design of your programs (and he also used Racket for a VR project as far as I remember):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15036591

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/in-depth-functiona...

As usual he gets to the heart of the matter:

Probably everyone reading this has heard "functional programming" put forth as something that is supposed to bring benefits to software development, or even heard it touted as a silver bullet ...
It isn't immediately clear what that has to do with writing better software. My pragmatic summary: A large fraction of the flaws in software development are due to programmers not fully understanding all the possible states their code may execute in. In a multithreaded environment, the lack of understanding and the resulting problems are greatly amplified, almost to the point of panic if you are paying attention. Programming in a functional style makes the state presented to your code explicit, which makes it much easier to reason about, and, in a completely pure system, makes thread race conditions impossible.

I totally agree and this is why I advocate just using "functional programming" in "object oriented" languages like Python and C++: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11841893

That comment won't make sense to anyone who hasn't used a functional language, but I still claim it's a useful way of looking at things.

Think about it - the "scalper" isn't going to buy something that they can't sell on, they'd just lose money that way.

The only reason they can sell something on is because they created an artificial scarcity of the thing. If widget X has a well-matched supply and demand, and a scalper decides to buy 10% of widget X, then 10% of the demand is now unmet, some of the buyers go out of business, and the maker of widget X now has 90 something % of their previous market.

I'm happy enough with my C64 remake, the full sized TheC64 by RetroGames. It has an ARM running VICE inside, but it looks real enough with a functioning keyboard with PETSCII graphics, a requirement for programming and doing PETSCII art.

This C65 remake... way too expensive, plus I didn't own one back when I was a kid (and I guess nobody really did, since it never got past the prototype stage), so it has no nostalgic appeal. If I wanted a powerful computer that I didn't own as a child, I'd stick to my laptop.
