Why not switch to linux? Even if you can’t use an Office 365 alternative, there’s a browser version.
> Some programs in the Simply Typed Lambda Calculus [^1] have no type—i.e. diverging programs.

Nitpick, because those programs have no type they are not members of the Simply Typed Lambda Calculus but only of the underlying untyped calculus
"Push" and "pull" in this context refer to the initiation of a session. The user is pulling, because they start streaming. Netflix does absolutely nothing by itself - it doesn't randomly start delivering data to you.
If you keep 10% and return 90% you still need to report the 10% to the IRS.
My current employer's standup is now an hour long. There's only 6 developers on the team.

Technically we have two standups. A thirty minute "tech only" standup and then another thirty minutes that includes the rest of the stakeholders.
This doesn't begin to address the issue.

E.g. if you work at the fed you buy a 3x treasury index fund if you know rates will be lowered, or short 3x treasury index if you know rates will be raised.

If you are a judge or legislator and you get to say if 30% charge on app stores is reasonable, this affects 20% of the Nasdaq 100 index. So you buy/sell that over a 24 hour period.
> And the meetings it takes to do Sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, demos, retros are really killing any possibility of developers having a flow of uninterrupted time to do what they need to.

This is because the Scrum "masters" are not masters of the domain. In most cases, they went to a two-week class to get "certified". They have no understanding of the development process and they are not accountable to developers at all, only to upper management to whom they sell the word "agile" as a project management approach. What they are doing with all the planning/prep all the time, of course, is playing mini-waterfall in 3-6 month horizons.

> the real impact of that work is almost always never evaluated.

Because that might actually lead to reflecting on the performance of mid-managers and the scrum "masters". These groups tend to view developers as assembly line workers, they still think the "size" of a PR is indicative of its importance (think the KLOC counters of yore), and they think "key person risk" can be mitigated by eliminating said key person instead of fostering an environment that open to knowledge/experience sharing.

Those who can't do the tech get threatened by those who can and instead of focusing on their own comparative advantage and ensuring a productive environment, they focus on subjugating those who can do the tech to their every wish (fixating on things like label colors, prefixing every ticket with TAT, insisting that every ticket must be comprehensible to any random person in the company etc).

When 30 hours in a week are taken up by mandatory meetings, they then penalize people for not spending 40 hours on development. I've seen places which required keeping timesheets with 15 minute resolution.

I know there are places that are not like this, but I also know enough places that are.

> I'm guessing that is a statistical artifact.

No, it’s a difference in business models. Low cost carriers approach things very differently. https://youtu.be/1-uNMj57Y4c

It’s not that their wasting this 15% of their unused seats airlines are simply more profitable with this pricing model.

“While you might expect the airlines to lower their prices a few days before the departure day to occupy the last seats, the opposite is true: Selling 20% of the remaining seats for $1,500 is more profitable than selling half of them for the regular fare of $550.” https://flightfox.com/tradecraft/how-do-airlines-set-prices

Further that’s a statistical average, they might not have any last minute travelers on flight X or they might sell out flight Y 1 hour before departure. As airlines can’t both raise and lower prices at the last minute they A reserve seats for the possibility and B frequency lose the gamble.
Direct and to the point.

Do you have any other examples?
I never said democracy was easy. I just said it was necessary.
Not quite right.

The assets aren’t necessarily stored on OpenSea. You can see how OpenSea gets the metadata like asset url via the docs:

If you scroll down you’ll see that the assets can be hosted on decentralised networks too like IPFS.

Also, not all NFT projects are built the same. I suggest you check out Pak’s Poets project - it’s a very exciting piece of performance art built around game theory.

Disclaimer: I don’t own any NFTs but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited by what they’re doing.
I seriously doubt that the lengthy processes are achieving that.
Two QR codes: one of the ticket's public key, and one of your public key. Their infrastructure verifies that you're the current owner and you're in.

In the late 90’s, one of my clients was an ultrasound company in Seattle. I was on a small software team of five or six competent engineers. We gelled as a team, embraced Kent Beck’s Extreme Programming (XP) philosophy, and really kicked ass.

We were also writing code in C++ to run on an ARM 7TDMI core embedded in a custom ASIC. We used the Metaware C++ compiler and JTAG based debug hardware from a German company whose name I’ve forgotten.

Good times. The client company was successful and was sold to Fujifilm about 20 years later for $950M.

Edit: The JTAG ICE was Trace32 from Lauterbach.
HN is very silicon valley-focused but i've never experienced in europe anything remotely like these horror stories about hiring you see every week here.
Money printing and the Cantillion effects associated with it have created asymmetric playing fields which are fundamentally unfair.

The injustice of modern markets can be explained with an analogy:

Imagine that you don't have much money and you open a coffee shop; assume that it's your only stream of income... Now imagine that a few years later, a multi-millionaire opens up a coffee shop right next to yours as a passion project. The multi-millionaire has many other streams of passive income. They see your coffee shop is doing well and they feel hurt by this. So the multi-millionaire decides to start buying even higher quality coffee beans, buying more expensive coffee machines, they start dropping the prices too and advertising all over social media; now they make a loss but it doesn't matter to them, their net worth is still increasingly rapidly thanks to their other sources of income; now all the customers are going to his coffee shop instead of yours. You are forced to close your coffee shop. The multi-millionaire is pleased with himself; all his friends congratulate him. Is there anything this guy can't do? no wonder he is a multi-millionaire! Once you're out of business, he can start dropping coffee quality to even lower than before and raising prices, you're now forced to work for one of his companies as corporate livestock; as corporate livestock you add negative value to society (you're now a cog in the money laundering machine) but you're getting paid more than what you did when you were adding value to society.

Many of the multi-millionaire's other businesses benefit from government contracts, grants, 0% interest loans, reserve bank bailouts, international capital flight, undetected money laundering schemes, market manipulation by political insiders, etc... The multi-millionaire's edge in the coffee business was founded entirely on them having an unfair advantage in other industries. If there are enough multi-millionaires and wealth inequality is high, all industries will be smothered out of existence by big finance who will always have the upper hand thanks to their access to easy money; all industries and society will be worse off. It's no different from feudalism.
> I can charge a month of minimum wage for a day of my labor. That's awesome for me, but that's not normal.

I’ve been working mostly as a contractor for quite a long time now. This honestly is quite normal. I’ve done contract work through 2 financial crises now, and the longest I’ve been unintentionally out of work was two months, and otherwise I’ve managed to charge high hourly/daily rates the whole time.

I have seen a lot of my contractor friends go full-time during this pandemic though. When it first hit, the place that I was working at converted about 1200 contractors to full-time. The allure of job stability was too good to pass up.

But the risks were an illusion the whole time. There was a shortage of software engineers during the GFC, a shortage of software engineers for the 10 years after it, and there’s been a shortage of software engineers during the pandemic. It’s just gotten so bad recently that people who were previously more risk averse have started to notice it.
I think he's referring to the idea of petty HOA politics where motivated power hungry people drown others out and selectively apply rules to make others miserable.
The monocrops are terrible for many reasons but the issue is subsidies. We have HFCS because of an artificial surplus of corn production.
In addition to that you actually have to demonstrate some driving competence (with a minimum of 20 hours of theory study) to get a driver's license.
It's strange that SK Broadband would go to so much trouble rather than be happy for the profit opportunity that Netflix brings since their content is cacheable.

In Nigeria which arguably is more broadband-challenged than Korea, it took me only a few weeks to ship in a Netflix OpenConnect appliance and integrate into the network at a local fiber company where I did some work last year. All we had to do was agree with Netflix that we would keep it powered up and cover the cache-fill bandwidth costs.

Net results: Today, that ISP uses less than 2Gbps of Internet bandwidth for less than 8 hours daily to update their cached content which they deliver to thousands of Netflix users at wire speeds.
Literally you're spending less than 2Gbps to acquire popular content and selling more than 10Gbps to your users during peak periods (if your local infrastructure can support it).

But what if the statement is "this statement can't be proven"? You haven't proven the statement, you've proven that it can't be proven.

See https://youtu.be/HeQX2HjkcNo?t=926 for instance which is (IMO) a fairly good explanation of the proof and why you end up with something both true and not provable.

Penrose's "Emperor's New Mind" also discusses this topic at length (within the context of whether human brains can be emulated). I wasn't convinced with his argument regarding AI but his overview of the problem of what's computable and what's not is rather good if a bit dense.
They're gangsters demanding their cut. The ISPs were created with tax money and set up as a public trust then stolen away. At least in my state.
Maybe producer can sell some part on auction and donate extra income to some charity?

At least this way parasitic scalpers would not benefit.

(this assumes that charity would be some actual charity, not just existing to transfer money to family of CEO or something similar)
Taste and spiciness. Yellow mustard seeds are milder and black mustard seeds are spicier. Brown seeds are usually in the middle. Most recipes usually call for specific amounts of each, once you know what you like, you can adjust them.
Is naiive consequentialism to the spirit of "oucome justifies means" really that popular?

I ask because the law, legal system and even democratic values as we know them are built on very different principles.

We definitely punish theft, burglary and fraud even if outcome giving to poor is seen as preferrable.

We dont punish legal tax shenanigans and some shady philanthropy, even if outcome is poor.

And when democratic majority is in favor of some stupid and harmful policy, we campaign against it, but still obey democratic majority.
Yes, you found a contradiction between different Reddit users.
Really developing backwards on all accounts. This is a purity spiral. If you allow it to infect your community, you can be sure it will at some point consist of toxic people that feel slighted on every opportunity they can get.

This is exactly why many people were not really open to COCs because this is an eternal battleground with creeping behavior expectations because of some unsolved personal problems.
>>He mentioned that he’s also a fan of spicy mustard on his eggroll, and wondered had I tried Colman’s (12).
They have value because people agree they have value. Trusted third parties (like courts) help people come to that agreement, by providing transparent, objective processes to settle legitimacy and ownership disputes (in the happy case, in the not-happy case they use physical force to reach agreement).

Personally I don't understand the controversy, blockchains are a different kind of trusted third party that also help people come to agreements, by also providing "transparent, objective processes to settle legitimacy and ownership disputes". These third parties aren't mutually exclusive, and the role of blockchains/NFTs aren't fundamentally different, they just use novel means to help people come to agreements, within the same social constructs we've always had.
In my entire career in the US, including at multinational software companies, I have never had to go through more than 2 rounds of interviews. If I were faced with that prospect, I'd probably just pass on the position.
The most common thing I see of late is people apparently reading the minds of the unvaccinated and drawing conclusions on their behalf so they can judge them.
Correct. This is your job to ensure.
I hate useragent strings, but with the current state of the Web, your UA sticks out more if you omit the version header rather than copying a common one.

That's still no excuse for a webserver to deny requests by (lack of) UA string, but I doubt that what you're doing is beneficial for any reason.
99 people forcing one person (or one thousand people) into slave labour does not satisfy my definition of democracy. Of course those that are more affected by an issue should have more of a say in it. Of course democracy must be founded on basic, inviolable rights. That's the whole point.
I agree, you can store it on IPFS. But most people don't, they don't even know it's possible.

I mean, most people could host their own video, but they upload on youtube, and just youtube.

Well, this is the same, only even more niche, so the easy "upload" on open sea is very, very attractive.

I'd wager if one the most popular NFT trading plateform disapear, 99% of all NFT would go poof.
I feel like the article talks about me. Early 30s dev, quit during the pandemic to start my own company (manylogs.com)

Not gonna lie, we have it pretty good. Great salary, flexible working hours, bonuses, job prospects etc... but it's kinda sad seeing your employer riding the internet wave while you're stuck on a leash.

If you're a senior dev, you probably can build something useful for people and make a great living out of it. The only thing you need is a laptop and some creativity.
> the privacy part sounds nice but is not actually verifiable

For what it’s worth, ive been a DDG user for many years, including their mobile browser.

Not once have I ever seen a targeted ad. The only ads are search ads; if I search for shoes, I’ll get ads for shoes.
Depends on the kind of nuclear doesn’t it? Thorium isn’t popular because it’s not useful for uranium enrichment. Efficient solar would be ideal, but the mining and harmful externalities would be best done away from the earth.
Except copyright and trademark laws exist. The Washington Redskins lost their trademark. You can create as many NFTs of their logo as you want. But you cannot stop me from putting that logo on my website.
> Consider that even with the most high end CPUs, they include the copper slug stock coolers than can make even a 45W rated CPU thermal throttle.

In one of the thermal design documents of their processors (It's either Core2Quad family or i7 3rd generation, I don't remember), it clearly states that:

"The included processor cooling solution is neither guaranteed nor designed to keep CPU within acceptable thermal envelope when the CPU is 100% utilized".

So they basically say that they include a complementary HSF assembly to smoke test your CPU until your proper HSF arrives.
I usually come back to my “products vs projects” division.

Projects are discrete work efforts with a specific business objective and an end date. They’re effectively waterfall, and managing a whole program with multiple work streams is at least possible via scrum (if you have the right feedback loops into the product team and execs). I suspect this is the kind of work people really hate. This is the kind of work consulting companies generally do.

Product development should be much more free form. The product manager should own P&L for the product (or at least some proxy) because it aligns incentives. The dev team need not be 100% utilized all the time as their ability to quickly and effectively develop functionality is valued above cost efficiency (because again, product owns P&L so no business case has to be made). You can then use the “extra” time to deal with tech debt or take on special projects.

The companies that really suck to work for are the ones that confuse the two. They are two different mindsets — one requires a developer who thrives on tight deadlines and can turn around functioning code and toss it over the fence, the other requires a more deliberate approach where doing things right preserves the ability to do things quickly. Put a project developer on a product they’ll be lost without the structure; put a product developer on a project team and they’ll quit within 6 months because they hate being micromanaged.
Yeah, the legal tradition and mostly the morals of my country is based on intent is the only thing which matters. So a reasonable assumption for me would be that is a reminder that impact does not matter.

I doubt that is what they mean but it is very far from clear, especially in an international context. Many of these CoCs are virtually impossible to understand unless you have at least a cursory understanding with contemporary American politics. Very inclusive ...
Sure, but all of that is _addressable_, via improved standards. That is, if one buys the lab leak theory, it's practical to stop it happening again. But if it was normal zoonotic transmission, well, there are ways to make that somewhat less likely, but it will happen again; diseases make the jump from time to time, and realistically this avenue for new diseases can't be shut down.
Then it would be called suction, maelstrom or waterfall, sometimes undertow.
This is unfortunately one of those "zombie comments" because the comment you're responding to presently shows no evidence of being downvoted, but I guess it was when you commented. I didn't vote on it either way, but I will say there is some dissonance between an apparent belief that the principle of being maximally charitable in assuming the best of everyone is a principle of discourse worth upholding, but then not doing so yourself.
As much as I don't like social media and Zuck in general, I think social media get a lot of undeserved blame. The biggest culture shock I had coming to North America, how materialistic, exhibitionistic and keeping-up-with-the-joneses the whole culture is. Sure, social media has made it worse. Before you can broadcast your fancy car to your neighbors, but cannot broadcast your fancy dinner to the whole world. With social media it's possible to broadcast not only the fancy dinner also glamorized miniscule details of your life.

So, the social media has made things worse. But the culture of materialism and obsession with status was there well before social media has come into the picture.
At this point I would name my object something like iwif_eace and leave the longer name in a comment.
plug: this is along the lines of our thinking, at ShareTheBoard. rather than kill the whiteboard with VR, we use vision to give it new tricks.

step 1 is real-time content digitization and obstacle avoidance (available now). step n involves synchronizing cameras and projectors for a deviceless AR experience - true "remote whiteboarding." we've completed this in laboratory conditions, hope to release it next year.
What is a higher standard of behavior exactly? More formal? More informal? What goal does it have? Fundamental Christians have a pretty high standard for behavior, I doubt this is the goal.

This is an undefined spiral to infinity mainly relying on de jure expectations.

Sexism - the believe that on sex is supreme to the other is already redefined to mean anything suggestive.
== How many of the journalists gone back to correct their misinformation on the topic?==

What was their misinformation? It seems like they were right about Cambridge Analytica’s goals and tactics. You are claiming their technology wasn’t great, but that doesn’t change how they obtained it or what capabilities they were selling.
You don't think there's value to the application owner? They get a secondary market for the accounts in their application that they don't have to manage and they get royalties automatically paid to them for every resale. The scarcity of accounts drives up the value of those accounts, which also financially benefits the application holder because now they can sell the extra accounts they held on to for more money, and they get bigger royalties on every resale. And on the consumer side, someone is more willing to buy in to check it out because if they get tired of it or they don't like it or they beat the game and want to move on they know they can sell their account easily.

And on top of all that, assets from one application can be integrated into another application. If I build a game and I allow people to use the "sword of NFT" they have from another game in my game then I've created a big incentive for people who like that other game to also play mine.
Shift on a keyboard is different from shift on phones. On a keyboard you hold two keys down at the same time; on a phone you don't. This is why people use Caps Lock for typing capital letters, so they can press one key at a time.
PSPDFkit raises $116M, its first outside money
Or Haskell has types like `Void`, `Maybe`, and `Monad`. If you think of them as "sets of possible values", these all have no possible values. But they're very different types.

You could probably define terms such that of these, only `Void` is a "type" - for example, it's the only one that you can use directly as function inputs or outputs. (i.e. you can write a function `Void -> Int` but not a function `Maybe -> Int`.) I think that would be nonstandard, but maybe reasonable to do. But then when you explain what a "type" is you've only explained a subset of what "type theorists" talk about, which includes the others.
militarize the IRS
Branding Appbars
They're very important in any company that has a partnership, like with AWS or Microsoft Azure. They have to maintain a certain number of people with certs to keep their partnership, so they push for their employees to get it. Seems very common in consulting, for example. Hiring someone that already has those certs makes things easier.

Also for the companies that need security clearances, I've seen plenty of job postings that have security clearances are required (or the job is contingent on your ability to get one). I'd be surprised if that wasn't still valued.
