It doesn't really feel any different to me than in the 90s. You would get port scanned then too. Keep your software up to date, and keep a reasonably tight config and you won't have any trouble running a basic website. Especially for something like Joey's pizza just make it a static site and you'll barely have to worry about anything.
People vote for such leftists who are corrupt and sponsored by Oil companies, like in this particular example.

Proposition 47, taxes on whites for reparations and so on - Commifornia gets what it should - people are leaving.
Interesting to see this as I’ve never heard returning to adolescent interests being common but that’s exactly the path I followed after leaving tech. I tried getting into sound engineering because I loved recording with rented 4 track recorders and early software DAWs in my late teen years. It didn’t stick and I ended up going back further to when I found an old Honda Trail 70 in a barn when I was a kid and rode around absolutely everywhere in my local area just to explore.

I recently found the adventure riding community and built up a Husky 701 for multi-day (hopefully multi-week in the future) on/off road trips. It’s not unlike a small open source project but more physically active. I’m early 40s now and plan to explore on a bike into my 60s.

I also recently bought a ranch in Colorado. This isn’t from my childhood but turned out to hit all the right notes for me. Ranchin’ is almost impossible to make a profit at but I’ve met a bunch of people now who can’t stop doing it and I understand why. It’s a never ending stream of natural projects, big and small, that engage every part of you mentally and physically. Again here, not unlike a (larger) software project.

I went into tech because I thought I liked hacking, turns out I just like work, especially on systems you can iterate on every day and see improvement.

As for tech, I haven’t written a line of code in years and rarely use the internet except for practical things like maps and basic information. I still browse HN occasionally. Not sure why as there’s not a lot of content relevant to my current interests. It still has a little of whatever I loved about tech in the 2000-2015 era, which seems entirely gone from the wider internet now.
To counter evidence with evidence, the "Asian" group is very heterogeneous, and more bimodal with respect to wealth than other groups[0][1]. Has anyone presented any data that I missed on which side of that divide the Asian G&T students in NYC schools are being drawn from?

Was the slur super necessary to make your point?
I believe it. Parents can't be around all the time. Doctors and nurses are busy. Having someone stop by that just checks in is comforting, maybe a social worker or psychologist. I get that the robot seems dystopian, but it's sterile and can be moved out of the way in an emergency. It's probably more bias neutral. For example, I think I talk to people I find attractive differently than people I don't. Not on purpose, but I'd be even worse at managing that bias if I'm stuck in the hospital.

Being stuck in a hospital bed for a week or more sucks. Can't really focus on a book or reflex video game. There's only so much TV that's entertaining. Family is freaked out so you can't have real conversations.
I don't know enough about the situation to speak any further on it, I was just as curious about your statement " in NYC, Asians are the poorest demographic by a large margin." as silicon2401 was.

It's a dire situation for sure, but I think using "large margin" is disingenuous.
What realistically happens next to Facebook

This is genuinely hilarious. Perhaps this is true at midnight, or during the early days of the pandemic. 17 miles in Austin is well over an hour at peak commuting times.
What happens if the main developer used Tailwind and has to pass it on to the next developer? (As in, the main developer got hit by a bus). Does the next developer have to learn Tailwind?
I did a quick LinkedIn search for PMs at Facebook. Only one PM out of the 7 I looked at had an MBA from a top 25, only 2 had MBAs at all, and both achieved those while already working as a PM in the FAANG realm.

Managers and especially managers of managers+ are far more likely to have an MBA in my experience, but again that is heavily biased toward people who got that credential after or more likely while working in big tech.

Now my sample is biased toward former SWEs and the Pacific Northwest, but I think an MBA is more a career accelerator along the people management track inside a company then necessary for product management or an enabler for people to enter the FAANG realm.

The sales pitch for this browser is really well done. What is lacking is information about who made this, and why we should trust their claims. Seems important too me if privacy is the main selling feature.
Qt 6 is quite smooth.

Ask HN: Recommendations for Memorial Page Solutions
I have a grandparent who is passing away and was asked to look into what solutions are available for creating an online memorial page. Something where people can post remarks about him and the life he lived.

I thought about building something from scratch but I wanted to ask if there are any good opensource of paid solutions that others have used.

Thanks

A lot of personal finance advice seems to start with "avoid identity theft" and move on to "raise your credit score".

I always thought that if I took care of my bank account my credit score would follow.

I've never stressed it about the small expenses that occur daily and monthly (e.g. budget $7.50 for lunch) but I do stress it sometimes about bigger expenses that occur somewhat randomly (car breaks down, have to reside the rental house) or times I've been between jobs.

Budgeting is more a tool for managing and living with debt (add up your payments and that is your budget) than about savings and investing. The real challenge in personal finance I see is managing uncertainty.

The first step (borrowing usdt on a defi platform) needs you to collateralize that loan with some other form of cryptocurrency. You are forced to have exposure to crypto to make the trade that shorts it.
Go to one of the many website builder businesses out there, pick a pizza-restaurant template from one of hundreds of templates that they offer, type in the same info they would into FB, put in a CC. Done.

Most of these places offer plugins to take online orders too. Its' $5-10 a month for the standard menu & phone number deal, and a bit of a premium over stripe for payment services (still cheaper than Grubhub).

We are long past the days of small businesses needing a coder to have a website.
Generally accepted logic is that visible payoffs are not immediate but several years down the line for more senior roles. Ex. when someone is looking for a VP/Director/C-Suite role, the network and resume line items are more valuable. Most people will go back to similarly leveled roles, potentially in a different industry (like engineering -> finance/consulting).
Qt 6 has moved away from OpenGL.

Now they do like game engines and use the native 3D APIs from each platform.

My personal joke about this is "I used to be a 10x developer but then I took an arrow to the knee".

Many, many years ago a colleague wrote about the experience of being bipolar and choosing to stop taking the lithium for a temporary productivity boost and subsequent crash.
In addition to the other administrative burden related explanations, there's at least some fraction that are cultural.

Ages ago, I read a "Nickel and Dimed" style long form article about check cashing services where the author tried to understand your very question: why do some customers continue to use these services when cheaper alternatives exist?

IIRC, some preferred the accessible, high touch in person aspects of the services. Much like some people connect with their regular barista, I suppose. Vs the intimating experience of a bank, the impersonal ATM, whatever.

In that way, putting on my UX and ethnographer hat, I keep thinking of the long tail of late adopters, as first detailed in Diffusion of Innovations. People are just people and have all sorts of nonobvious reasons and factors guiding their choices. We just have to meet them where they're at. Especially with social policy.

Any way, it's important to ask why people don't take advantage of apparent benefits, like you've done, and then figure out catalysts for making adoption more likely.

Edit: Oops, I forgot my two concluding points.

For accessibility, sociability aspects, I think the USPS branches will be great for community banking. Every branch I've ever visited is like its own community hub.

It's not enough to ask people why. A lot of the time, people can't articulate their rationale. This is normal. Just like with usability testing, would-be policy makers have to actually be present and observe.

A two or three standard deviation intelligence kid can likely understand and benefit from the leadership training that someone 5-8 years older than they are gets. Camp counsellor training, mcdonalds restaurant management training, sports coach and instructor training, military cadet officer training, all programs designed for mean level intelligence people. You just need to give younger smarter kids access to them, and much earlier.

Even just instead of merely teaching kids how to do something, teach them how to teach it while they are learning it. Like, "To do this interesting thing, we need to solve these problems to get there. Here's how to ski, or divide large numbers, we're going to space out the repetitions so your brain will become hungry for it, and when you are showing other people, you can use this method to help them understand faster. Smooth is fast, lazy is clever, etc."

Sure, but the OP saying “bitcoin isn’t a currency” isn’t accurate. It’s a currency that happens to be popular as a store of value.

It was designed to be a currency, and so for it to be good at that design, it should do currency things well, like broad support from point of sale systems.

The fact that gold doesn’t have broad support from POS systems is irrelevant to its intended purpose in that context, of being a store of value.

Their analogy doesn’t work because they’re comparing what bitcoin was designed to do, with what gold isn’t designed to do.

I've been using & contributing to open source for a long time. I had the good fortune to end up on the radar of the project lead for Adafruit's CircuitPython, and when he found out I was looking for something different, it was also the right time for them to bring someone new on board. Their embedded & creative teams were already all set up for someone who wanted to make a part time remote commitment.

So it feels like there was a big element of luck, but also I feel that having a history of open source work visible on github, as well as creating personal connections in the open source world, helped it happen for me.

There aren't a whole lot of Adafruits out there, where you're shipping new hardware products weekly, most of them with open source drivers.
The first problem is rendering within the guest. If you only have one GPU, then GVT-g [1] virtualizes it with just a bit of overhead. But it's Intel only.

The second problem is getting those pixels onto your screen in the host. SPICE is not as fast as Looking Glass [2], which sets up a shared memory buffer between the host and guest. This has acceptable performance even for modern games.

The OP doesn't seem to utilize these techniques, so I don't think it can plausibly claim to have the fastest configuration - at least not yet.

If you mainly use Linux that would be a reasonable point of view to take.

However it runs in many environments so it is more like 'a cross platform framework'

It is native code, so in that sense it also native.

From a few years ago until we perfect the QFET and can put it to use.
I've used this to create recorded terminals to Kubernetes for an internal app I built. We'd basically proxy the kube exec socket endpoint with a write log so we can playback what folks did.

Ask HN: How did your company move to a 4 day week?
My cofounder and I are exploring how we can accelerate the adoption of the 4 day workweek, and one solution we're exploring is a SaaS that helps companies run pilots with a subset of their employees. The product would help track OKRs and employee wellness before and during the pilot, and then helps the business make an informed decision about the effects on productivity and other key metrics.

Unfortunately, this product idea is very hard to validate. The problem we're solving only happens after the company has decided to explore a 4DW. In addition, companies with experience implementing the 4DW are few and far between. There are some fascinating articles explaining how and why some companies made the switch, but I need more!

So I'm asking you, HN reader: if you've had experience shifting to a 4DW, how did you or your employer decide to try it? Did you run a pilot? What were some pain points? Were you metric driven in your approach?

> As someone who has spent a substantial amount of time reviewing top MBA programs

As someone who has spent a substantial amount of time with friends who graduated from Stanford GSB, I can tell you, an elite MBA may not guarantee anything but it opens many, many doors for you (it's up to you to also close it once you're in the door). I'm talking about regular lunches with VC's and billionaires, getting a soft landing when your startup fails, and leading big teams at FAANG's a couple years after graduation.

That's just the perks you get in Silicon Valley. Wall Street is another level entirely. They only hire elite MBAs. A great book to read on this is Liquidated by Karen Ho, which details the many privileges elite graduates get on Wall Street.
When comparing on my machine, VSCode has much more latency than Qt apps for e.g. selecting text, reprocessing syntax coloration..

This is the opposite of how you should want any knowledge worker to think. If you believe that there’s some innate ability that makes people 10x better at a skill than you rather than hours of practice and study then you are much less likely to acquire that skill or learn those skills efficiently. You need to have a growth mindset to be an effective knowledge worker not a fixed mindset.

This is discussed in the book Make It Stick on learning science, in chapter 7 they discuss how your own views on whether skill is innate vs the result of practice affects your own ability to learn and grow.
Is it funny to anyone else how it seems like retired software engineers tend to be drawn to either carpentry or farming?
It's probably not unattractive per se but the person is usually under unpredictable and busy schedules making dating difficult.
The area they are building in is the outskirts of Austin where an unimproved 1/3 acre will go for less than $100k. With current building costs, a house that would cost $2 million in California, would cost less that $400k in this area of central Texas.

In addition, a large part of Texas is privately owned and counties are much more relaxed about land use. This means high land availability for new housing. This will reduce the price increases from demand increases.
I believe everyone has a different set of circumstances, and never the same path, but it's great to be able to see people writing under this topic about the paths they took, just to be able to know I'm sane.

I'm unmarried... spent most of my younger life driven to make money and buy a house. It's been the best decision for me to buy a house when I'm working because of the tax deductions. That being said I've always wanted to be a musician, and an independent thinker. Working for others served to pay bills, but also served to burn valuable years off of my life... Because I'm not married and have no kids, I'm able though to be a bit less cautious, and have taken time off of work in small cycles (3-6 months at a time).

I have always planned a point of retirement, but I'm not there because it's impossible to know how good my savings need to be, and how the economy will go into the future, and I don't want to have to go back to working, after years off, when I'm much older in a future where jobs may not be available to someone like me.

I have no shortage of things to do in retirement, but most of it depends on being well funded, and in today's world, financial, time without income, and investment risks are much scarier than it used to be. But the truth has always been the same - No risk, no reward.

How Domestic Pest Control Services? How Do I Choose Which Pest Sprayer to Use?

I've found that volunteer work is _harder_ in terms of getting the human aspect right.

New volunteers sometimes expect the red-carpet treatment as someone volunteering their (pretty expensive presumably!) time and as someone accomplished in their field. Volunteers usually get the opposite treatment since it turns out the other volunteers tend to come from a similar perspective and someone doing the hard human work is often contributing a lot more to the project than an otherwise excellent engineer.

You can of course choose your volunteer activities to be interesting to you. Open source is one such very fun activity but lo-and-behold in projects I've been involved with the human aspect is often very important and requires a similar amount of hard work. This is often truer for bigger projects/organizations than small ones.
yeah, 50 million over 10 years is nothing. That’s 5 million a year. They made 101 million profit in a day by selling 1.5 billion worth of their bitcoin holdings
>literally no other company or business has to do.

Actually every other company and business HAS to do this. Ever wonder why private pensions went away?

I also am always amazed at how people point to this funding requirement as a bad thing. So it is now bad...to actually set money aside for benefits you are promising????
The Post Office has a requirement to be self-funding and also has been saddled with a ridiculous pre-funding requirement for retiree health care that applies to no other entity.

Both of these could be eliminated by congress, but there doesn't seem to be the will (and in fact, there is an ideological faction in congress that would eliminate the postal service or privatize it for their donors' benefit if they could).
> Activists have no problems openly discriminating against Asians because whites, blacks and Latinos think of "Americans" as whites, blacks and Latinos. Asians are considered foreigners.

I don't think this is true. Asians are being punished because they're successful, and their existence bucks the narrative the blank-slate activists want to push.

Sure, as a group they're being punished, but it's not because anyone sees them as exceptionally foreign. It's just because the top has to be brought down in order to achieve equality of outcomes and the fanatics pushing these things don't care who they harm to achieve their goals.
Eh, from your own words:

> What they did was to put schools and school zones in ways that happened to line up with strong demographic differences in swaths of the city.

Using geographic lines which correspond with race to determine entry to a school for which geographic location isn't a determining factor in success is racial segregation.

Giving the same standardised test and using the result of that test to gain access to a gifted and talented program is not.

from a linked ny articles in the OP article:

> On the exam, they are asked to finish patterns: For example, if children are shown a triangle, a square and a triangle in sequence, they are asked to name what shape comes next. They are also asked to solve simple arithmetic problems and define words.

I dont have the full test but any of the test parts I've seen do not in any way disadvantage native English speaking African-Americans.

This is devolving into California's "maths is racist" because black kids in California don't score as well as non black kids.
