Another reason I prefer to use Ubuntu on the RPi for headless deployment, the serial console is enabled by default. The other reasons are ssh being enabled by default and the ability to use cloud-init for initial configuration.

Which would be a fine point to argue, “let’s take this back to a pure service model funded out of taxes”; but at some point they decided to make it self funding with some monopoly privileges (hence the gaudy signs they put up about not taking tax money) and as long as we’re going to stick with that decision, then yes, they need to recognize pension liabilities as liabilities and prefund them like any other corporation.
Is there a specific freelance experience you want to know more about? Like, finding gigs or how I manage the business? There's a few dev / business'ish posts at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/tag/dev-business-tips-tricks-.... I have posts on finding gigs, accepting payments, invoicing, protecting and licensing the code you write and things like that.

Finally something that is not a straight scam (in my opinion).

I know folks are saying Trevor and Nikola Motors have some sort of ground breaking hydrogen tech - but some of these other folks, despite their market caps, seem like so much trash and hype.

Not sure these folks will turn out better, but at least there seems to be something of some substance here from folks with some experience.
I noticed this when I went back to university. I was in my late 20s and past caring about my social status on campus or looking foolish in front of my classmates. Not so much disagreeing as "surely someone else is wondering about..." So I would raise questions, including ones I might not have if I had felt more self-aware. (I rarely asked questions in grade school or my first few jobs. I didn't want to stand out.) It turns out most of my stupid questions weren't that stupid. And more than once I had other students approach me and thank me for raising the very question they were asking in their own heads. You're often not alone on that one. It's my experience that people will let you know if you're asking irrelevant/woefully-misguided questions quite quickly. They will become dismissive or impatient, etc. If you aren't getting that feedback, don't worry too much that you're annoying others.

That is nice to see, I was looking at subspace last week and the last commit to https://github.com/subspacecloud/subspace had led me to believe it had withered and died, I was guessing due to the primary backing company having died?

So it is quite nice to see that it is living on as a fork.
I miss my common lisp days, and I think rust being able to export C ABIs makes it a really great companion language for CL. I also think common lisp (or really, any fast lisp) is a really great tool for game development. The fact that you can redefine a program as it's running really helps iterate without having to set up your state over and over. Pair that with a fast, low-level language that can handle a lot of the lower level stuff (been trying to find time to look at Bevy on rust), and you have a killer combo.

The main reason I stopped using lisp was because of the community. There were some amazing people that helped out with a lot of the stuff I was building, but not a critical mass of them and things just kind of stagnated. Then it seemed like for every project I poured my soul into, someone would write a one-off copy of it "just because" instead of contributing. It's definitely a culture of lone-wolf programmers.

CL is a decent language with some really good implementations, and everywhere I go I miss the macros. I definitely want to pick it up again sometime, but probably will just let the async stuff I used to work on rest in peace.
ugh this shit is hard to stomach
Nothing beside remains.
"Going off the rails on a crazy train" would also be infringing on an earlier similarly-named media franchise. Tots derivative.
Haskell is #1 for generality but #0 for clarity, though I have to admit that some of my Python examples aren't exactly shining exemplars either. But if I write code in Haskell I can only call it from Haskell (which wasn't something I mentioned in my original comment, but is important).

I think there's an underlying tension between generality and clarity. Clarity is when the code can't do things that aren't immediately obvious upon reading it. Generality is when it can. (There's a bit of squirrely equivocation here about what kinds of "thing" is being done, and what sense of "can" is meant, which is why they're just in tension and not really opposite, but I think there's some truth too.)

And yet he is staying in UK as he can't make such money back in Germany and complaints about UK and Brexit. Some people are just insufferable.
Road the hell is paved with good intentions.

As much as I support equality and diversity, I'm even more strongly opposed government over-reach. The state shouldn't have a say in who gets a job at a private (non owned by state) company.

As the article state, I hope this will get over-turned by the courts.

This would set a bad precedent. If the state can dictate the kind of person gets a highly coveted job, what else can state dictate?

yeah, I recognized that, but at the same time I wanted to offer my "nitpicky" perspective to anybody else reading who might have mistaken their salivation while watching Bourdain's shows as having come from something Bourdain said.

Bysshe!
The comments here as I write this are quite shocking. I would have imagined that HN's readership would be quite progressive. Maybe not.

I do not think it is unreasonable for a corporate board to be required to include at least one woman or at least one non-white person. I also think it's quite shocking that all-white-male boards are so common that this is even necessary. It's an artifact of institutional racism and sexism that is easy to observe in hard data, and so this law feels like a single step towards modern equity.
this should work out well...
The law doesn’t pass constitutional muster. There are several challenges underway.

iOS 15 removed my AirTags. They were still registered to me, but not visible on Find My.

Contacted support and had it escalated. I opted to not wipe and reinstall my phone. Every major release from Apple has had something important get nerfed and I wasn’t going to do it this time. It’s Apple it should just work.

I’m on iOS 15.1 beta 2 and magically the AirTags are back.

Tier 1 and tier 2 couldn’t help. They wanted me to start all over. Nope.
This comment is wrong. You still learn all those things using a game engine. You don't have to write your game in pure C and handle everything from first principles to learn how to manage those aspects of game development.

What a shockingly sad interpretation from most (all at the time of writing) comments here.

When did you ever have a job that you didn't learn 90% of what's needed, while on the job itself?

Cries for meritocracy are woefully ignorant for this fact alone.

If you want meritocracy, focus your energy on improving education. Until then, your worth is determined mostly by whether someone gives you a chance, which depends on your skin color, location, and last name, aka luck.
I thought most big companies self-insured. So, does that make them insurance companies?

Hmm, I guess you still have "insurance" at big companies, and they negotiate rates... so maybe the large insurance companies are still involved in a significant way.
Y'know, back in my day we had a word for this... I think it was "racism" but I'm not entirely sure

I wonder how "We will be depositing funds into your account equal to the value of the currency improperly removed
from your account at the time of the incident" is to be read.

To me, that reads as "if you had 1 BTC stolen on May 20, we will deposit 40k USD into your account, because that was the value of 1 BTC as of May 20", not "if you had 1 BTC stolen, there is now 1 BTC back in your account".

The timeframe listed in the letter covers exactly the time of a massive price spike, so a USD payout would put most people in a better situation than a BTC payout in this specific case, but I'm still curious how this is handled, and whether there is a universally agreed standard for it.

Because next time "we'll reimburse you the USD value of your crypto as of the date of the attack 6 months ago" could mean that someone "made whole" like this has only 10% of what they would have if the attack didn't happen.
what you are saying is that women and people of color are not capable of competing on merit? they have to be installed by decree? i am insulted.

Simpler to clearly tell them, no, I'm not doing that. Enough people refuse and the practice stops.
Could it just be reading an underlying misspelling in the data, as in "soujtwest"? A combination of transposing TH as HT due to timing disruption between the left and right hand, while mistyping the H as the adjacent J.

There are plausible pronunciation attempts for "soujt" that a listener might phonetically transcribe as "sawjootee".

Or maybe there’s just a lack of demand??
If a board rejects a (very) competent person based on the person’s gender, race, sexuality, age, then… they lost a very competent person. That person will do great work outside of that board. Can we agree on this? Also, is that some sort of Nash equilibrium?

I really don't like this pattern that's developing. The pattern that I see is, "Implement an obviously unconstitutional law. Let it affect people in some manner for N months until the courts get around to saying that it's illegal. Repeat indefinitely."

The speed of the courts depends on the political party of the offender, of course. See also: Executive Orders that can be removed and how swiftly they are removed.
Boards with at least 6 members must have at least 3 female board members (from https://www.advocate.com/business/2018/10/01/california-outl...).

Coefficient | Sr. Backend Engineers | Remote From India/USA/Canada | Remote Only | coefficient.io

Coefficient is the next evolution of spreadsheets. We connect spreadsheets to all the other company systems (eg Salesforce, databases, ...) to empower the business user to work with data in the familiarity, power and flexibility of the tool they love -- the spreadsheet. This is a massive market since spreadsheets are the mainstay for business users across all types of companies and geographies.

Today's data and BI tools were designed for data specialists and data engineers. However, as more companies and business functions embrace data-driven cultures, they are held back by the inherit complexity of existing tools, as well as the technical expertise required to set up, maintain, and operate them.

The founders are serial entrepreneurs whose last startup, Shopular, was backed by Y Combinator and Sequoia and acquired by Rakuten Ebates. Coefficient is backed by top-tier bay area VCs (undisclosed).

We are looking for senior backend engineers to help us shape and deliver our vision. You will work alongside the founders to define features, design core backend architecture, and develop resilient, scalable systems from the ground up. You should have 6+ years of experience as a backend engineer and python experience is a must.

To apply: email join@coefficient.io
Federal government already says you can't discriminate.

They aren't saying, "you have to hire this person". They're saying you can't hire exclusively this type of person that currently dominates the top of society.

Given that these boardrooms don't diversify themselves, what is the actual problem with it?
Literally impossible to provide equitable outcomes to all possible segmentations of humans since those segments can be gerrymandered as easily as our geographic definitions used in the past. For instance, the most hyper-modern views of gender vs sex.

dang sure has too much work.
I have a collection of RAVPower GaN chargers that are very solid so far. Been using them for about a year now.

In fact, the Apple power brick that came with my M1 MacBook Pro is still in its original packaging; I have not used it yet. The 65 Watt RAVPower one seems as if it's about half the size. More than half the mass, though.

(I have never needed to try warranty support for RAVPower things.)

"Progressive" doesn't mean "jump on any bandwagon that comes along". I think HN's readership is much more nuanced and analytical than your average AOC fan, and luckily it shows in these comments.
I've only been aware of it since the RS article where the writer went to OzyFest on acid with the Chapo bros: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/a-neol...

Nightmare fuel.
Punishing someone based on “wrong” color/gender is evil.
Quite frankly, no, it's not. The article touches on this, and I'd easily bet my house that, if it gets that far, that courts will eventually invalidate this law.

That said, there is hardly any company that would want to be the plaintiff in this case: "So, you're the company that led the lawsuit trying to keep corporate boards all white and male" is what the headlines will say, and no corporation would want to be branded as such.
I'm familiar and it doesn't change this in any way because IPFS is not a magic want which provides infinite storage and bandwidth at no cost. Those have real costs and someone needs to pay for them.

Many NFTs reference third-party hosting services for this reason (that's the real service; the part on the blockchain is the expensive vanity link) and anyone using IPFS for real will need to pay for ongoing hosting if they want their content to remain available.

Part of what dictates this will be abuse: if you provide free hosting to strangers on the internet, they will exhaust your capacity and some will try to host material which violates copyright or other laws. Over time, anyone not getting paid to deal with that will stop offering free hosting to random strangers on the internet.

Language is fluid by nature
It's not that they're incapable of competing on merit; it's that the established institutions are unwilling to recognize based on merit, and a coercive outside force is required to counterbalance the entrenched racism & sexism until we're at a point where society can function on a truly meritocratic basis on its own.
Will you expand on how you see this distinction and how the distinction matters here?

I understand the difference between equity and equality, but I don’t know what exactly you mean to imply here, and don’t want to draw any hasty conclusions about this comment.
tl;dr: if the only thing you do with the result of find_if or find_if_not is compare it to .end(), then you should use all_of, any_of, or none_of instead.
Racially discriminatory policies are anything but progressive.
In the UK, which is where this is happening, this is just about class. An investment banker who won't quit their job and become an HGV driver is construed as a statement on class. Middle/upper class turning their nose on working class.
I agree with you, about HN's audience, which is I guess what "bro culture" devolves into, and that the idea isn't crazy.

Board room implies scale. If you don't have diversity at scale, in so many senses of the word, your doomed to fail anyway.

> I don’t know what it is about climate change that seems to encourage a tribalistic ”if you aren’t entirely with me you are entirely against me”.

> The email that appeared on Phil Jones’s computer screen in November 2009 was succinct. “Just a quick note to encourage you to shoot yourself in the head,” it said. “Don’t waste any more time. Do it today. It is truly the greatest contribution to mankind that you will ever make.”

To be honest, your argument rather sounds like victim blaming.

> It hurts the debate to say there is no debate.

There's no moratorium on debate over the details of climate change or related policies. Scientists argue whether some specific weather event is linked to global warming all the time.

What we don't need is another "debate" on whether AGW is real. 99% of people who still want to argue on that point don't want a debate, they just want to derail discussion because otherwise they'll have to talk about "OK so we're in deep trouble, what should we do now?"
An HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout error message is preferable to no user-facing error at all (former cloud engineer here).
