I have a neighbor with a car with no muffler. Half the neighborhood just signed a letter to his landlord with our complaint. It's pretty impressive to have an entire page full of signatures, each one completely different. It went from being a sterile document written by a lawyer, to something that has normal people behind it.
Code discovery: how to find code that you need to fix or extend
You have to love all the replies to this carefully explaining how banks prey on the poor and that’s why they go to check cashing services, but nobody seems to realize that instead of putting the check cashing services out of business by competing with a government subsidized service, maybe we should fix the banks?
On the edge of possible/impossible, ratios will lose their meanings. In the same way, you can say "Einstein is a 10,000x scientist."

Continuing with this analogy and using Kuhn's concepts, maybe it's better to bracket out breakthroughs (paradigm shifts) when talking about everyday productivity (normal science).
But just like Ativan in gives you an out when it's overwhelming and other coping mechanisms aren't working.

I know the personal server architecture of a bunch of docker containers reverse-proxied behind Nginx is really easy and popular but it's a lot of overhead and kills your throughput if you don't aggressively cache in the frontend.

Look at the proxy_cache_* options and you'll be able to handle the traffic with ease.
Are you perhaps talking about something like https://materialize.com/ ? (btw, dbt now has some materialize compatibility)

Maybe Pravega and Beam working together?

No, I don't think the database technology is what matters in marketplaces.
I think the "10x programmer" as a term is confusing.

In one analogy it could be the 10x bricklayer. One who does a well defined job 10 times faster than the others. I think this is the notion people oppose.

Another analogy is the 10x classical composer. A person who produces music that is 10 times better music. But this is much more about creative/artistic capacity than about producing. Nobody oppose this.

I that your examples incarnate the same idea: It is not about producing code faster. It is about having better ideas.
There's debate on the left-brain/right-brain model, which I think has been somewhat debunked[1][2]

That being said, brains are weird and if you find you can multitask then go for it. I've gathered data on my own attempts to multitask and established that I cannot.

Depends largely on how it's implemented. There is a big difference between the quality of a well implemented convolution engine and a crappy biquad filter.

I agree with your definition of a scam, however:

> Telling people bitcoin has value, while being a developer (thus smart enough to know it's worthless)? Scammer.

There is little about being a programmer that qualifies you to declare Bitcoin a scam, or not a sacm. There is a set of programmers opposed to cryptocurrency that believes that their background qualifies them uniquely - that is hubris.

People don't need to understand any code to understand that Bitcoin is a spreadsheet.

Why would structural racism in NYC's gifted and talented program exclude blacks while including Asians as the largest plurality, despite that they are among the poorest demographics in NYC? What is the explanation for this kind of effect size?
Sometimes you have to treat the symptoms so you can get the person functional enough to then start treating the root cause. For example, this is the point of anti-depressants and fever-reducing medication. They don't treat the underlying disease. They just keep the symptoms from killing the patient long enough to do something about the disease.

A person with particularly bad PTSD may not want to see a therapist and start rooting around in those bad memories. If the overall anxiety level associated with those memories can be reduced, then maybe the therapy can start.
whose marketing department wrote this?
Spacex is a highly speculative company with extremely large capital requirements, a strong track record of success, and some of the biggest moats of any company around.

If you believe that the launch market could increase by 10x if costs fall by 10x then a 50 Billion/year revenue is achievable within 5-10 years. Satellite internet is a direct bet on this outcome by betting that Spacex could capture substantial portions of the ISP market.

Ultimately as an investor you have to buy into this hypothesis to invest, and success will only occur if you invest a few 10s of billions. Therefore SpaceX will have a valuation in the hundreds of billions less all shareholders immediately dilute themselves. It probably helps that there are a large number of hundred billionaires interested in Space exploration.

This was not my experience at all, but it's been a little while since I tested it so this could be the case.

This version is crippled. The plugin system works because of a workaround to a proprietary server, which will inevitably be broken on purpose when it gains any traction.
Sometimes you want to relax your mind and be entertained. Playing a game would be like Ironman pausing the Civil War movie mid fight and asking the spectator "Hey bud, where should I punch Captain America?".

It wouldn't change the outcome because the game is telling a story, but the experience of being an observer or a player is very different.
Python has one giant plus over pretty much every other popular language:

The syntax

I was reluctant to to meaningful whitespace for a long time. But after doing some projects in Python I have to admit the code looks so much better than C style languages with all the {, } and ;s

And it has one giant plus over PHP:

The module system

PHP went down the wrong road (of insanity) by deciding that the way to avoid naming conflicts is to use longer classnames. Because that is what namespaces in PHP are. Comfort tools to make your class names longer.

There is still one giant benefit of PHP over Python:

Performance

Currently, PHP is about 6x faster than Python.

Let's hope that the Python devs will focus on performance so we get the best of all worlds at one point!
Those seem like pretty unobjectionable opinions. Have an upvote!

You want a controversial opinion (on HN), how about mine:

"It's not always a good tradeoff to throw something under the bus to save developer time."

So many important things are routinely sacrificed at the altar of developer speed and comfort, app runtime performance being the big one. It's used to justify all sorts of crazy things we do in modern software to ship faster, but so hard to push back on because developers are expensive and software needs to be done yesterday.

Some things are worth giving up so that developers can move faster, but I argue not everything. Need to evaluate case by case.
It was not offline. It was pretty slow - some requests failed entirely - but only for authenticated users which suggests the problem was server/database capacity as the unauthenticated pages served from cache were still very fast.
Quite brave to share these unpopular opinions like “npm is bad” on HN.
What with security as it is on these companies, the code is literally the most sensitive information they can hold, specially in terms of value to the company. With the code out, expect lots more high-profile cracks in the coming months...

"your average twitch developer" needs access to the password hashes or at least the code that checks these hashes the moment they need to debug an issue which involves logging in, and from then its all downwards.
Agree with most of this.

> 1. I still don’t know very much

Same here, Im still realising how much I dont know.

> The 10x programmer is a silly myth.

Yes it is. It's a stupid harmful myth. Everyone on HN and Reddit think they are the "10xers", and its used as an excuse to be rude and insufferable.

Some time ago, I decided I'd be happy being a 1x programmer[1]

> Don’t mistake humility for ignorance

Very true. Some of the best engineers I worked with, those who would never get job at these 10x companies, were quiet and reserved. But when you actually talked to them, you realised it was humility and a willingness to learn.

> Interviews are almost worthless for telling how good of a team member someone will be

Yes, interviews are just a form of hazing. The survivors are those who can stand the hazing, not the best programmers

Looking for a Technical Partner
I'm looking for a partner who is interested in earning passive income. What you'll need to do is to help me with my personal projects. It's totally legal and very interesting project. You must be an US citizen. If you live in EST timezone, it would be a huge consideration.
Shoot me a message at (786) 322-5209 if you're interested, Let's build something cool together.
That's a very good question, since the page shows five screenshots and one photo of a multi monitor setup for me. In addition, there's a link to https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Screenshots
Glad it works for you, but doesn't sound like a generally applicabale approach.

I really disagree with a couple of your statements:
"The way to properly deal with trauma" there really isn't a proper way imo. Individuals have different ways.

"will guarantee that the emotional reaction will come roaring back to the surface when some strange, probably unrelated situation triggers the memory once again." Not really true, not always. People do successfully repress, and some people have a really negative experience from treatments like the one you suggested.

People are different and their experiences are different.
I feel like I never quite got the answer of why it doesn't work. It's also pretty nuanced.

If I have laundry, dishwashing, etc going. I am multitasking but I don't need to expend attention.

So there's certainly a threshold where multitasking becomes a problem.

In MSP world, I didn't control my own schedule. If the schedulers thought I only needed 30 minutes to do a 3 hour task. That's all you got. Some coworkers would hard limit. Put the 30 minutes in and leave the job unfinished.

The stated rule was double/triple billing; which is a felony but you know they'll throw you to the wolves if you actually break the law and get caught. However, the rule was that if you needed more time. You had to work on multiple things at once. If you did not accomplish a task, you had to set the ticket back with justification why you didn't get it done. About 25% of the time if you didnt get it done and put in a justification. Someone would come talk with you.

Not to help, but usually chastise you.
I said "stealing control of"

I didn't say stealing the code.

Also, the .NET Foundation is Microsoft because a Microsoft employee is doing all of this behind the scenes.
The FAQ mentions that this is possible / done with the latest Safari.
Hey everyone,

I am the founder behind Orion, bootstrapping the project. Started working on it three years ago with a small team just to see if it would be possible to build something like this from scratch and we just kept going. Orion is today a daily browser for a few dozen beta-testers and it warms my heart to see that we got that far considering the competition.

Few questions about Orion answered that I see pop put in the comments:

- Orion uses native Keychain integration for passwords and will use iCloud Sync to sync between devices. We have full import from Safari, including passwords [1]

- Orion uses a slightly modified WebKit which allows us to run Chrome/Firefox extension support layer on top of it (about 70% of all extensions currently work in Orion - including uBlock Origin). We are planning to complete the support in the upcoming months.

- Orion is currently trying to get to the feature parity of the reference browser (Safari).

- Orion features developer tools from Safari with a few extra ones like the Error indicator in the address bar [2] We just started with this, expect many useful additions in the future.

- Orion is designed as a zero-telemetry browser.

- Orion iOS also features a number of useful innovations like the Data saver mode [3] and multiline URL edit [4]

- The business model for Orion is to have a Pro version for those who want to support its development.

I was the founder of ManageWP [5] which got acquired by GoDaddy in 2016. Moved from Belgrade, Serbia to SF Bay Area as part of the acquisition. Spent a couple of years there as VP of Product and then decided I want to build Orion and Kagi (privacy-respecting alternative to Google search), because one ambitious project was not enough :) Main reason for this is the concern for the future of the internet and the web my children will grow into using.

I did this about 6 years ago with a NUC, many hours of work went into it. Spent so many hours converting the display cable into a dvi connector so any computer could be fit in. Replacing the screen panel was beyond my skill at the time, the springs in the neck and odd data & power cables make that a real pain.

This version is really slick.
Analog distortion of signals also affects the phase. A digital filter might or might not compensate for it, but it's not always bad.

Also, human ears tend to be more sensitive to amplitude than to the phase. Especially if the same filter is applied on both channels, which leaves the phase difference unchanged.

The team is not the problem. The company is the problem. That and rationalizations like the one you deploy here.

I'm sure there are some people that can keep themselves happily busy, but I've seen these kinds of threads about early retirement come up now and then in different places and always its the same: people who have not had a lot of free time incredulous or even seemingly offended that anyone would be happier working, and then many accounts of people that actually retired early saying it made them bored or depressed.
Step 1: sample

I'm sortof joking, but also not. Specifically Bayesian inference takes forever, and there's no really good way to speed it up (GPU's don't work as well, because the sampling is sequential).
That’s wonderful. The “Lamp” iMac is my favourite design they’ve ever done. I wish I had the need for a computer that this project could satisfy.
> They aren't part of the community, they dont pay taxes

If they buy things, they pay consumption taxes.

If they rent accommodations, they pay (indirectly) property taxes, and (depending on the particular accommodations) potentially extra short-term residency taxes.

Unless they are scofflaws, they probably also pay any applicablr income taxes, which most taxing jurisdictions levy on any income earned in the jurisdiction (which nomads are, for the duration of their stay).
It's important to know that WordPress can be used as a headless CMS. There is active work in that area with plugins like WPGraphQL[0] and frontend frameworks like Faust.js[1]. So you don't _need_ to leave WordPress in order to use some of the tools and gain the scaling benefits of JAMstack.

> “if they ask about time off in the first interview then they are never going to be there!”

The fact that this attitude is common scares me when I'm doing interviews.

Time off is incredibly important to me. What's the use of making a great income if you can't get the time off to enjoy it?

The culture about the use of PTO varies wildly between companies. A friend of mine worked somewhere that supposedly gave 20 days PTO per year, but trying to actually use more than a single day at a time was always met with denials, and even if you did take a Friday off, you were expected to work 10 hours/day the other 4 days of that week to make up for it.

So yeah, when I'm interviewing, I want to know how much time people are taking off, but I don't want the interviewer to think I'm lazy and will be trying to avoid work as much as possible.
I wonder if you could just use something sticky, sort of like fly strips? Fertilizer becomes untenable, but perhaps you could put the energy savings toward a more efficient fertilizer approach?
Indeed. 2200 seems like a lot until you remember the scale of these places.
That assumes the person currently has the capacity to deal with it. In my own experience, trauma can be too overwhelming.

Medication or other interventions may be required before therapy techniques become effective. Video games have fewer side effects than anti-depressants and aren't physically addictive like tranquilizers.
Waiting for the equivalent of Carmack to write and open source the underlying libraries, basically.
You can avoid curly braces and semicolons and also not have indentation determine the control flow. Julia, Fortran, Visual Basic, and other languages do this.
Yes, this is the main concern with ivermectin - lack of knowledge. There are many studies with really questionable quality. I am almost daily checking if UK Principle study is done. They have hired already 6700 patients into the 3 arm study, so I hope it will be soon.

Maybe it helps when taken very early. It helped with Remdesivir according to Gilead.
The sugar tariff is indirectly responsible for the deaths of many Americans because high fructose corn syrup is used in lieu of regular sugar in many foods and beverages instead. Fructose is extremely damaging to the body because the liver can barely metabolize it and most of the excess goes to liponeogenesis which ultimately manifests itself in tremendous buildup of visceral fat, with all the implications that carries. Meanwhile glucose is typically mostly stored alongside muscles as glycogen, and the human body can store far more glucose effectively than fructose.
How did short sellers actually impact the company's operation? Or was the damage entirely to his ego and his desire to reach milestones so he could vest.

In my personal experience distinct handling of errors like these does indeed come up significantly more rarely. What ends up mattering to me much more often is how these errors are presented to the user, or what ends up in the logs in production. In those cases something like

error: failed to read contents of `foo`
caused by: a physical I/O error has occurred (...)

and

error: failed to open `foo`
caused by: permission denied (...)

are significantly more actionable than just the underlying I/O errors by themselves. To the point where a person reading these messages has a shot at addressing the problem without any prior knowledge of the code base.

In `anyhow` adding such context via its `context` family of methods seems fairly well accepted. I hope that my comment demonstrates there's no reason why `enum` based approach would need to be any worse than what `anyhow` can achieve.
Because a tablet is something that most people have, and a dog is not, so a dog would be another intervention type.
I honestly have the same studies in my mind and the same plan of action should I ever be subjected to a traumatic experience that warrants it. So well done you, glad it worked
sort of. it's JavaScript, APIs & Markup.

The operating assumption is that you're still going to be doing dynamic work on the site but that it will all be client side.

You'll end up rendering huge JSON blobs with your public data in your markup for your client side JavaScript to do things with. Text is cheap. The client side does all of the heavy lifting but you'll probably need things like accurate time, which you can get by rendering pages using NGINX SSI module to render server time on pages. Obviously this won't stop some users from manipulating this information maliciously so you have to be careful what you use and where.

Naming this thing was always amusing to me though -- I'd been working with clients to switch from WP to essentially JAMstack years before it was ever named anything. Then suddenly I', in the JAMstack business.
I have some limited background in this though it's not my main area of expertise.

The vast majority of non-bacterial species that are subjected to severe evolutionary pressure go extinct. The main reason this happens is they cannot adapt rapidly enough to respond to evolutionary pressure.

Malaria is a very complex parasitic disease which depends on a whole series of things going right across multiple hosts. If it's disrupted in either the mammal host or the insect host it's unable to reproduce. There's a number of disruptive events that can happen (such as blood cells being the wrong shape, preventing infection from the parasite). There's no variants of malaria that can infect sickle-shaped blood cells even though sickle-cell anemia is very common in malaria regions.

Unlike viruses and bacteria, there's no easy mechanism for a new variant of a parasite to spread its mutation laterally. The replication mechanism for parasites occurs much less frequently and produces much fewer copies than bacteria or viruses do. RNA-based viruses have very high mutation rates in general, due to the defects in RNA replication. The viral life cycle happens anew with every cell infection. Bacteria are even more adaptive - they can actually exchange genetic material even between replications, and of course replicate exponentially without depending on host cells. This is why viruses and especially bacteria can rapidly respond to evolutionary pressure. Other species are not so lucky. For a malaria parasite to respond to evolutionary pressure, it would have to go through its entire multi-host song and dance on every replication cycle. This already massively slows down mutations, as the number of mutations depends on the number of replications and the probability of mistranscription in each replication. But the important thing is that we are already using heavy interventions to prevent the spread of malaria - if we can drop the base rate of spread by some tens of percent and keep those measures, malaria will go extinct. If we remove the index host species (the particular susceptible mosquitoes) it's going to take a very long time for the parasite to successfully infect another species, as the number of replications drops massively and there's no replication reservoir where a new variant can develop. As the individual parasite's lifecycle is short, extinction is much more likely than adaptation.
But you wrote a lot of code for the project since you left Microsoft, I would think? That code should be yours.
A nomad that isn't also a criminal tax evader doesn't have an income tax shortfall to make up in most US jurisdictions, since most US jurisdictions with an income tax levy it on all income earned while in the jurisdiction.

There may be a state or local payroll tax shortfall, because those have different standards, but usually directly fund benefit programs for which the nomad worker isn't eligible as a result of the same rules, so its a wash.
