Even among native speakers, there are often inter-generational shifts: to my father’s generation (1939) “gay” meant “festive, joyous” rather than a sexual preference; my mother used the term “glory hole” to mean “a cupboard used for storage”[0]; and her mother used “Irish” as an insult, and lived just long enough for “wireless” to start to refer to WiFi instead of longwave radio.

[0] admittedly she was starting to develop signs of Alzheimer’s at the point she called it that around me, but that was a legitimate use of the phrase when she was young.

Damn, what a blast from the past. I worked in a software retail store for most of '96 and remember selling many boxes of v4. IIRC it was one of the few things that flew off the shelves alongside Windows 95.
So what happens when you press customize? From looking at a relevant changeset[1], it seems that only Allow enables the ads (setting suggest.quicksuggest.sponsored), while Customize does not (and the comments specifically says the user remains opted out). The related bug is marked as confidential[2].

Incidentally, here[3] is an interesting list of settings relating to the address bar that may or may not be documented elsewhere.

There is an innate ability that drives it to a large extent: inherited intelligence. Recognizing this might not be helpful to the individual's motivation but that doesn't make it untrue. Not everyone can be a 10x (or 100x) Ramanujan-level genius, you really need to win the genetic lottery, in addition to working very hard, for elite level cognitive performance in STEM domains.

Mortgage interest relief was abolished in the U.K. decade a ago. Do you get relief on renting too, or just mortgage?

Either way seems a long way from business which gets to remove 100% of the cost of rent, maintenence, and pretty much anything else. If I employ a gardener to mow a lawn because my time is more valuable spent inventing a cure for cancer, I can’t deduct that. It makes far more sense from a personal perspective to work less and do a given job myself (lowering GDP and productivity, a lose/lose situation). Won’t say 35% marginal tax, I’d have to do $1000 overtime to pay $650 to put in a new shower, and the builder would only keep $422. It might take him 2 hours and me 6 hours, but if it takes me 10 hours to earn that $1000 extra it’s worth doing it myself and denying the world the cure for cancer I could have developed in that time.

A business on the other hand will just take the extra $1k revenue and offset the cost of the plumber against the revenue before paying tax.

Rutherford County, TN isn't Deep South or even particularly rural; with a population of more than a third of a million, it's a one of the primary suburban/exurban appendages of metro Nashville and is home to the 2nd largest university in the state.

I don't see any reason to doubt the veracity of the story, though; it seems pretty well investigated and reported.
Do you know how big most countries in the EU are ? They're either smaller or not much bigger than the average state in the US.

Vaccine requirements are not that new. The only thing "unheard of" if the scale of them, and well, it matches the scale of the novel pandemic.

> "Either mRNA vaccines are best thing since slice bread, or they are completely useless" How about neither?

The either/or is not the real situation at all, it's the oversimplified straw man that detractors use. There are numerous examples in this discussion.

As for the argument that vaccination against COVID just not effective enough, that doesn't seem very realistic.
Hibernate isn't at all meant to avoid understanding or writing SQL; rather, it is meant to map result sets of queries to managed object graphs, track mutations to the loaded graphs, and synchronize those changes efficiently back to the database.

The SQL generated by Hibernate is as good or bad as you tell it to; something like inappropriate config causing the n+1 SELECT you describe will instantly show up in any decent dev workflow. You're not bound to JPQL, you can very well use SQL directly too if that benefits your situation.

As any powerful tool, Hibernate ORM requires good knowledge of it in order to use it efficiently and effectively. Use it if you have the problems which it solves; don't use it, if you don't have those problems.

Labels and labeled optional arguments, they were pretty straightforward to me when I was a newbie. I came from C. OCaml was the type of language in which I just wrote something and it worked on the first, or at worst on the second try without even having to look up the syntax. I would never be able to read Haskell, for what it is worth, even though in OCaml I mix imperative, functional, and OO; I use whichever makes the most sense. In a project I typically use all three.

I don’t have Facebook installed, but assuming the process is the same on instagram, I reckon I could unfollow 1 person per second with the app.

Even after step 3 three above, I have to enumerate and curl each unfollow url, at some undefined rate limit.

So maybe 5 minutes of work to complete all the steps? ~300 followees to make scripting the chore worth the effort?

The issue is that it’s possible for that person to not “be political”, even typical in large parts of the world, so if the person thinks they always are, they’re not seeing correctly. Insane is way too strong a term but such a person does risk their misperception harming relationships and wasting good opportunities.
From what I remember Intel failed at least twice to make it happen with compute shaders.

First they had a kind of OpenCL plugin, which died when plugins got widespread killed.

Then they finally managed to ramp enough quorum to add OpenGL compute shaders to WebGL 2.0, as an extension, just to have Google killing the efforts with "compute on the Web should be done via WebGPU".

So now it is time to wait again, until WebGPU actually makes it.
And it is self inflicted wound

Conversation I was having with my dad (a dairy and grain farmer in the midwest) earlier this week ‘I wonder what the market for an open source tractor is?’

Not sure about autonomous, but just something you own, that you have full schematics and design specs for, and can repair yourself — seems like a huge market given the state of things right now.
I manage at a famous Chicago pizzeria. When I was young I had aspirations of becoming a programmer or otherwise working in tech and kinda grew up reading different aggregators and eventually HN. Now that I know myself better I don’t think I would do well or be happy really sitting at a desk most days. I like working with my hands, entertaining guests, and working with and developing a team of staff from a variety of backgrounds and skill levels. These days I mostly just read for entertainment but when I’m occasionally burnt out I daydream about doing IT or UX.

This isn't surprising. Even before the Civil War, the justice system was used to target and disrupt the black community as well as line the pockets of the local white community.

We see this historical in this story where they trawl for charges that fit, and when they can't find one, they make one up "criminal responsibility for conduct of another.". Even the filter system they use is inconsistent in it's verbiage of "TRUE threat" and "TRUE threat" having no actual meaning.

Meanwhile, the judge and jailers keep their jobs and the cops involved serve a weekend's worth of leave.

To folks outside of the US, turning jails into profit centers would be abhorrent and incompatible with a country that claims to be "the freest in the world" or what have you. But when you look at the history of the country and it's actual principles, this is very much in line with history.

Relational databases may be ACID, but no, they do not "give us" ACID.

Take LMDB as an example. LMDB is a fast low-level KV storage engine. NoSQL here, but with full ACID semantics & usable as a backend for whichever DB flavor you so wish to implement. LumoSQL and the older sqlightning are sqlite implementations backed by LMDB.

Generally looking for best practices that you recommend in taking care of your employees.

I'm asking because the regular "ask them and they'll tell" usually falls flat until things are bad..and then it's more of a healing process of something that could have been prevented.

Also, speaking from personal experience, we sometimes don't realise how bad things are before they start burning us ..

What I've seen so far are general "mental day off" or random benefits that work as external rewards but not so effective long term (better than nothing Ofc)

Yeah, how do you do it?
Nice resource and definitely something I've been looking for too.

However, with my project [1], I feel like having to find my audience somehow. I've created tons of content on the blog. I post to reddit and HN. Other sites too. But I've done as was recommended to me by many startup books: I've created a niche product that's only useful to a few people. But now, nobody "gets" what I'm doing either. Definitely, most of HN isn't interested.

If the logic is standalone (e.g. algorithms, data structures, validations etc.), then that's indeed a really good approach!

But in my experience, you oftentimes have to work with libraries and ecosystem components which are platform dependent. In those cases, the cross platform code would only work when these ecosystem components are also written in that particular language.

Now, it can work with Xamarin Forms, React Native or similar technologies with very specific use cases, but it feels like any other, more generic attempts at getting something like that working are doomed to fail (e.g. when you don't have a cross platform solution in place, for example, different ways to access DB on different platforms, or different ways to make web requests etc., or even interact with device capabilities or handle permissions).

Australia is currently being portrayed in the right-wing US media as being a police state due to the lockdown laws.

Most of the complaints are tone-deaf and completely ignorant of the actual situation on the ground, which has rustled a few of our jimmies.

it is the quality of the communication channels (the signal to noise ratio) between individuals. Diffusion of high quality information (from any early age) is what enables individuals to both internalize state-of-the-art collective mental models and incrementally contribute their own bit.

> Currency is a meme: it only has value due to the widespread idea that it should have value.

It would be nice if people spent just a tiny amount of time studying economics before pronouncing on it.

A US dollar, for example, is backed by the "full faith and credit of the United States Government", and this has an objectively measurable value (because there are pairs of almost identical securities where one has "full faith and credit" and the other doesn't).

Unless your argument is "all securities and currencies are imaginary," of course, which has no practical value.

Please note that I'm a far-left socialist and I consider capitalism destructive to the planet. But that doesn't mean I don't believe in economics.

I recommend avoiding all browser extensions unless they come from well-known developers (eg 1Password) and they’re downloaded and installed through official channels.
Browser extensions have a lot of access to your browsing activity and can phone home as well. One of the reasons this extension was sent a C&D was that it was sending some data home to the author’s server. That might be what the install instructions above are hinting at with the warning to examine the JS and remove any phone-home code. The original author defended the data collection as just enough to make sure the plug-in was working, except for study participants who apparently submitted much more information through the plug-in. Either way, I wouldn’t rush to install a plug-in that was caught sending any of my social media data to a 3rd-party server.
I certainly would not install a browser extension from an unknown 3rd-party website just to spite Facebook, regardless the claimed origin of the code.

If language fluency would be the most important criterium - which it isn't-, the Dutch speaking 60% of Belgium are an even more logical choice. They're buried in that ranking below the less stellar English in the French speaking part of Belgium.

Flemish people might be an even more logical choice for the EU. Similar English, Dutch and basic German fluency, plus with most uni educated people there, pretty decent French.

And if you recruit me, you'll get fluent Latvian on top :-)

Me and my brother are both engineers and we tinker with off-grid existence on our vineyard. Some things we had to implement:

- Electricity: Modern solar tech is suprisingly powerful. We have a tiny 1.6kw system with 3kw batteries plus a Chinese inverter which works amazingly. While it is small, it only cost about $2k altogether, including fittings. We installed it ourselves for the miniscule cost of risking our lives on a roof that's ~30 feet high :)).

- Water: Next problem was water. We already had a 42m deep well, we just bought new pumps and some tech which controls water flow, so when you open the taps and pressure decreases, the pump starts. Works beautifully. Overall cost is a few hundred dollars for parts + installation, which we also paid a few hundred dollars for (we don't always have time to do things ourselves).

- Heated water: once you have water you quickly realize 10C is not always pleasant to shower in. So for $150 we bought a water heater that heats water by 25+ C as it flows through. It works with a gas cannister since our small electric system is not powerful enough to heat water.

- Sewage: we currently only have a compost toilet (ie. a hole dug into ground with a shed around it). We are moments away from having a proper English toilet and a septic tank (? another hole dug into the ground, but this time connecting the toilet inside the house to the pit with pipes)

- Heating, cooking: we have massive masonry heaters and stoves all over the property. I think we heat the house in around -10 C for $3-$5 worths of wood per day.

All in all modern solar enables off grid houses at a scale we could not imagine even a decade ago imho. 10/10 would do it again.
