That's implied with the "responsible" framing. Part of that means knowing your mental health situation, if you have family history of schizophrenia or other risk factors, or if your doctor recommends against it.

Another part is self-education. Have conversations, explore the intellectuals and history and science of the subject, and learn your mental health situation. If psychedelics are inappropriate, or if you're uncertain, then the responsible thing to do is to simply avoid them.

At any rate, it looks like microdosing, to our best understanding, lacks evidence of benefit when considered against the possibility of placebo. We also know that the potential for heart damage from microdosing recommends against it. Lastly, we know for a fact that responsible full dose trips are among the most positive and powerful experiences available for people. I'd call that "definite," within the constraints of responsible use.

Job Openings with Heavily-Funded, Early Startup (YC Alum)
Hey HN community - I'm a YC Alum who decided to forego YC this time around when we started a new company (we still love the YC community - not a reflection on YC).

We're here because we are hiring to achieve our vision - a bug-free world for software developers.
We are bringing on a few Fortune 500 companies soon, and are hiring aggressively for the talent - and with that, we have various roles open within our company:
* Full-Stack SW Developer
* Front-End SW Developer
* Back-End SW Developer
* Special Projects to the CEO

We would love for you to check us out (https://www.plumbr.ai) and apply (https://careers.plumbr.ai/careers). We have an incredibly exciting team that has built state-of-the-art AI, CI/CD, and UI systems at Tesla, MLB, Airbnb, and Facebook.

Why would he write and _publish_ this?!? Is this some kind of humiliation fetish? These are things that should maybe be admitted in a confessional, or therapy.

Listening is not "just sit there and let the sound wash over you". That part is easy.

Active listening is much more involved. It involves, among other things, developing empathy for the person talking, trying to understand their emotions and deeper reasons. Not just taking in what they say, but trying to understand what it means, and why they say it.

It is very much a skill you are not exercising in this thread.
Not really. Most of these services tie back to an account (most with an actual email address).

Should a SSO provider ever stop working, you simply "reset their password". Send them a message to validate ownership of the account, then ask them to set a password OR authenticate with a different SSO provider.

> I don't know of a quick vim command that lets me quickly select, delete, replace, yank, or change the full contents of a scope in a whitespace-sensitive language.

I'm sure there are better ways, but you could v9G$ to select from the current line to the end of line nine. Or v9j select the next nine lines, v9k previous nine, etc.
I already feel that way with some features of ES6 and typescript - though both have more benefits than negative attributes, sometimes there are more than one way of doing things, which introduces a little mental overhead when reading code, and the overhead compounds over time.

For example, types vs interfaces in typescript - they can be used interchangeably in many cases, and not in a few other cases. [1]

Let's KISS, not over complicate for the sake of more features that may be negligible in value. And let us especially not introduce features that can overlap.

[1] Example: "A class can implement an interface or type alias, both in the same exact way." - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37233735/interfaces-vs-t...
I'd be surprised if it wasn't enough–can always use external storage.
You can exclude folders. I use it for a few things where there's no point in backing it up.
Rust's cargo is the high water mark today (and is a substantial reason for Rust's popularity).

Ruby's rubygems, node's npm, and the elm package manager all get different things right and wrong, but at least they are a common approach that is somewhat sane. Python is total anarchy. I think most people would disagree with you about .Net, Go, and Javascript today vs python.
It's entirely self-inflicted by the greed and avarice of the trucking companies. Such as paying $3/hour for the first 40k miles driven, which is 4-6 months of employment depending on whether driving in city areas or doing longer haul highway driving.

You can read the summmary of the Supreme Court case called New Prime Inc. v. Oliveira to see some of the scummy tactics that large trucking firms pull on people:

"In the present case, Dominic Oliveira sought employment with New Prime Inc., an American trucking company. When he was hired, he first had to drive 10,000 miles as an unpaid "trainee", followed by 30,000 miles as an "apprentice" working at US$4 an hour. Oliveira was then brought into the company proper, he was given the option to be hired as an employee, or as an independent contractor, which the company asserted would be more economical for Oliveira. Oliveira opted to be hired as a contractor. However, because he was an independent contractor, this allowed New Prime to charge Oliveira and other drivers through leasing of the New Prime vehicles and to pay for their own fuel and equipment through deductions from their paychecks, items that the company would normally pay for if the person was an employee. Oliveira frequently found these costs exceeded his base rate, effectively paying New Prime for his employment. While the terms of his independent contract allow him to drive for other companies, Oliveira found that his schedule was heavily dictated by New Prime. Oliveira eventually dropped the independent contractor and was rehired as an employee of New Prime, where his work duties and commitment were essentially identical to what he had done as an independent contractor, but taking home much more from his paycheck."

I understand the business factors that require initial account creation to be frictionless, and so why proof of identity must be weak, but why can't account recovery offer an option where you prove your identity indisputably?

For example, some sort of physical storefront (possibly run by an independent company), where you go and say I am so-and-so and here's my ID and please take my picture and my fingerprints so that if I'm scamming I'll be easy to catch and here's twenty bucks for your trouble.

I'd rather do that then spend weeks or months locked out, uncertain, and talking to a wall.

Privacy advocates won't be happy, but Facebook, Google, etc. don't have the same motivations as privacy advocates.
This is a very lightweight addition, with a huge quality-of-life impact, and one which must be immediately appealing to everyone, not just the FP crowd.

C++'s syntax problem, to my mind, is not that it's excessively large, but that it's excessively clever and error-prone, and sometimes not very uniform. It's hard for humans to parse.

This proposal does not introduce any special cases, it adds one (or two, if |?> is also accepted) very clearly defined operators, proven by practice. It makes parsing things by humans easier.
It seems country by country, governments will begin putting up "Great National Firewalls' prompted by two things, disinformation as well as wanting to control what content is permissible and not (whether it's copyright, or privacy or other laws regulating content) and to have jurisdiction over that information.
Interesting argument, I wonder if Apple fans would be okay if people started calling iOS devices limited capability consoles.
> So much complexity for what is not such a complicated problem to solve.

As someone who actually worked weeks on their spare time, I beg to differ. This is a very complicated problem to solve. And everyone has their own opinion on how things should work, which is goverened by their narrow use case. But you see a "standard" packaging tool needs to be the opposite of narrow use case. The main reason Anacond Inc exists is because they wanted to solve this for data science. Even with them being a relatively big corporation their "solution" is not loved universally, but works ok most of the time.
Honest question -- are you trying to build a sustainable business on $20/yr per customer? That sounds very ... challenging.
Interesting to see Fred getting into passive house development, my father is a structural engineer who is currently running a carpentry shop in NYC and has been a big fan of passive homes for a while. I've been trying to convince him to start a co-op with some his other builder friends to focus on building multi family passive homes in the north east.
>> Most problems we all face on daily basis are completely trivial and those which aren't are often solved by someone.

Resptfully disagree. There are a lot of non-trivial problems that do not have good solutions. If you look for niche manifestations of hard problems, you can both find something with appropriate scope AND a good value proposition. You also don't need to solve problems, just make them better/easier.
That’s a pretty good idea, also a tool many Python developers already use, making the move between the two languages easier.
Ask HN: Are NFTs a Circlejerk of the Rich?

Safari (not WebKit specifically; the rest of the browser) relies on OS libraries. Those libraries would have to be reimplemented for other OSes.

I don't mean that that would be an impediment to porting; Apple have done this before—Safari 5 was available for Windows. (And interestingly, vice-versa, IE5 was available for macOS!)

What I mean is that the differences in implementation of these OS libraries would mean that this version of Safari wouldn't be bug-for-bug compatible with macOS Safari; and therefore, testing on this version of Safari wouldn't necessarily get you what you want, if your goal is finding and squashing 100% of the bugs that testing on macOS Safari would allow you to find and squash.

To use a pretty close analogy, it would be like a development workflow for Windows executable that involved running them under Wine in Linux, and never actually under Windows. You've QAed for the API surface, sure; but you haven't actually QAed the software for how Microsoft's own library implementations work (and the bugs that those implementations introduce.)
If you've read Snowcrash by Neal Stephenson there's a similar yet much more advanced technology in it owned by the CIA. The concept of a world map on a virtual globe with information embedded is not a very new one.
While we now know a lot about teaching, a lot of misconceptions have been found recently regarding “truths” about teaching, its a fascinating subject really, and the main problem seems to be lack of rigorous repeatable double blind testing for all of those things.

Veritasium did a very interesting video on the subject: https://youtu.be/rhgwIhB58PA
Right, and it definitely wasn't a comparison between the two proposals. I love OCaml/F#... and Elixir. So the pipes are cool with me. I've never tried the Hack variant however.

As far as decorators as a "need". You're right. It's often as easy as `functionName(...args)(target)`. The decorators are definitely convenient for those coming from other languages that have annotations though.
I get that backblaze is a cool business, but why would anyone invest in these companies that just lose massive amounts of money?
Not again
I get that these tech companies work on volume and automation and to manually review everything would be impossible and the more avenue of contact they put in the more they get swamped with noise, but they could do a lot more to identify real people with accounts of real value and have people that they can call to get these problems resolved without it having to cause a social media stink.
I don't think they realise how much stories like this make me want to use other products, because it doesn't usually quite cross the threshold of making me do it, but it has done on occasion it would do more often if there were more alternatives. It really can't be good for their business model to have potentially lots of people even slightly motivated to go elsewhere just waiting for a viable alternative.
The grandparent mentioned that Rumble was "a den of right-wing disinformation and propaganda. Not something the average content creator wants to be associated with."

The parent then replied, seemingly to disagree, but then listed several examples of right-wing disinformationists and propagandists, not something the average content creator wants to be associated with, who inhabit Rumble
I think a lot of the time the quid pro quo is delayed (or gives that perception)

That's the key question.

In all the companies I worked for in the last 20 years he would have been fired instantly.
In this case, serving the market is about scale and no-touch/incredibly-low-touch sales. The companies not charging anything are making money on the backend through data, analytics, and sale of information to 3rd parties. There's definitely money to be made, it just depends on who you are asking for that money from.
I ended up in the fun position of not being able to get into my Facebook account, and the only recovery options were 'text a number you haven't used in years, or ask this random selection of people you no longer have contact with to confirm you are you'.

It turned out logging into Spotify some how re-enabled my access - my only guess is because I had a Spotify account before they were under the Zuck umbrella it somehow grandfathered me in
I've actually contacted them via email multiple times, and they never respond.

At this point, they're legally committing fraud. I don't see how closing a credit card that has regular fraudulent transactions is wrong, or likely to cause problems later on.

I'd add that this is an example of why many companies have those eye-rolling annual ethics mini-video classes that they make people take. Because I guess it sometimes does need to be said.
It's even more straightforwardly illegal with government clients, where there is a presumption that the employer (the people) can't possibly be agreeing to a sweetener for the employee.

They say that scientists rarely get any real work done after they win a Nobel prize, because the prestige warps their self-expectations in a way that guides them away from things they could actually make progress on and towards heights that are too difficult to climb. Avoiding this has guided career my up until now and I can safely say I have been totally successful at eliminating even the slightest risk.
You can rent 18-wheelers, but the rental price ends up being such that after expenses, you'd be making not much at all (they're aimed at companies).

Just watched an interesting presentation by Shanna Swan, who has a book out on this exact topic[0]. I haven't looked into the veracity of her claims but basically her argument is as follows:

TL;DR - its chemicals in the environment, particularly those that disrupt hormone production in utero.

- Sperm count and testerone levels having been falling at a rate of about ~1% per year. This also coincides with cases of miscarriage and erectile disfunction rising at a rate of about ~1% per year.

- This suggests something is affecting the human reproductive system.

- Three possible factors could include genetics (not likely since the change is too rapid to be evolutionary), lifestyle (certainly a factor), and but also potentially environmental

- Hormonal disruption from environmental chemicals has the most lasting effect when children are in utero, particularly any chemicals altering testosterone production. Testosterone is important because, biologically, female is the default. In the absence of sufficient levels of testosterone in utero, male children will have underdeveloped masculine traits (biologically, not psychologically).

- One measure of underdeveloped masculine traits is anogenital distance (look it up, but not at work if your really curious). Phthalates is one class of chemical that has been demostrated in rats to disrupt in utero testosterone production and reduce anogenital distance. There is growing evidence this also occurs in humans.

- Phthalates are used extensively in a number of products, including food products (basically anything with soft plastic)

- Other classes of chemicals exist which also disrupt hormone function. These hormone disruptors have an even more pronounced effect when combined together.

Frankly, I think the Chinese took it to another level.
> Submitting DMCA takedown notices for thousands of URLs to Google is easier than you think. You just have to fill out a DMCA form available on Google’s website and you can include 1000 URLs in each notice. The form includes a text field which accepts 1000 URLs at once.

> But if you want to submit a counter DMCA notice, you have to submit one URL at a time. Submitting over 3,000 URLs took us over 15 hours – while it would have taken the scammer a few minutes to submit those URLs.

Now if that design isn't intentionally abusive on Googles part. I think it at least qualifies as a dark pattern.
The other day I wanted to switch Trello from "sign in with Google" to an email/password. The first step in the process was "To verify you before completing this action, please provide your Atlassian password". I don't have one, I'm signing in via Google...
> Personally, I think the best games on iOS are better than the best games of the 90s. Reasonable people may disagree, however, it's definitely not far.

I think the best iOS games are on average much more polished, but less deep/engaging than what we had in the 90s. Some of this is due to the nature of the platform - iOS games are often designed to be played in short sessions instead of sucking you in for hours like a SNES era JRPG.

The elephant in the room though is micro-transactions. Early console games were a complete experience that you bought (or convinced your parents to buy) once. A lot of top grossing iOS games are constantly trying to get more money out of their audience. This skews the design of these games in all kinds of ways like unnecessary timers, pay2win multiplayer, unfair difficulty curves that require "boosts", or repetitive, daily chores to keep people coming back. I think it's these elements that make me long for 90s era video games.
Sadly there's no easy way to mark all those Google searches out of date... One of the big goals of this project is to spread the knowledge though, so you reading it means success.
Just to clarify, not trolling. For those who think Bitcoin has zero value, then by definition all the energy is waste. For those that think Bitcoin has value, then the energy is by definition not waste and it's a question of utility, what is the energy usage of what it's replacing.
Love HN's eventual consistency!
My point is that "the size of the market and the scope of it matter[s]".

It's what allows Apple have more game-related revenue than Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo combined.

An owner-operator making a haul for Costco is not at all prevented from operating in California as they can satisfy the ABC test for contracting. Large logistic companies that hire owner-operators on a contract basis are impacted as their restrictions on the contracts bump the owner-operator into the employee rather than contractor bucket. This increases costs, so they are pushing back.

Seems likely that there will eventually be a care out for trucking since that industry was not really the target of AB5 in the first place.
1TB has been a sweet spot for me, I know my needs will grow over time but I update every 3-4 years so I think I'll be good for at least that long. I try to keep as little as I can on my laptop itself as I have servers and a Synology for media and the like. Also the portable "SSD"s from Samsung (like the T7) are really tiny and fast. I use one with Carbon Copy Cloner to backup my machine and have something I can boot from if my hardware were to die on me.
That's what most physicists thought, in the early 20th century, until they became aware of the implications of quantum mechanics... Are you familiar with the Uncertainty Principle?

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

In short, it's fundamentally impossible to completely and precisely describe the current state (position & velocity) of any particle. The more precisely you measure one of those values, the more uncertain the other becomes, in proportion.

This is a fundamental physical reality of the universe... It's not just an imperfection of how we take measurements. At a quantum level, the universe is actually random in it's behavior. You can make statistical predictions, which in larger & larger quantity can asymptotically approach certainty, under the right conditions... But at a macroscopic level, outcomes will always reflect some amount of randomness.

By implication, you cannot fully predict the future behavior of a system by knowledge of its current state. This was a tremendous shock to the worldview of many scientists, including Albert Einstein. But over the last century, every attempt to disprove the reality of this fundamental randomness has failed.
The full title is: Identifying Non-Technical Skill Gaps in Software Engineering Education: What Experts Expect But Students Don’t Learn

The first part of the abstract:

> As the importance of non-technical skills in the software engineering industry increases, the skill sets of graduates match less and less with industry expectations. A growing body of research exists that attempts to identify this skill gap. However, only few so far explicitly compare opinions of the industry with what is currently being taught in academia. By aggregating data from three previous works, we identify the three biggest non-technical skill gaps between industry and academia for the field of software engineering: devoting oneself to continuous learning, being creative by approaching a problem from different angles, and thinking in a solution-oriented way by favoring outcome over ego.

The associated research with the raw data: https://people.cs.kuleuven.be/~wouter.groeneveld/gap/ and related papers.
.net is just nuget. It seems pretty straightforward. The last time I looked for a "blessed" solution in python, it was some third part solution surrounded in some kind of internet/twitter drama.

That would be why I made the point repeatedly that it isn't any one factor that got us here and cautioned against trying to frame it that way.
