I see some coworkers with ridiculous setups. Three monitors, one vertical, one ultrawide and curved. I don't see why you need that much screen to write code... when pressed they say it's for having references, Slack, etc. up on other screens but then you just end up moving your head around a lot (what a pain in the neck!) I do everything on a single 27" monitor.

> Safari is out of the question as it is not even cross-platform

At the moment. Apple has a fairly long history of keeping cross-platform ports alive even if they aren't publicly available (that's why the transitions from 68K->PowerPC->Intel->Apple Silicon have been relatively smooth).

I would bet that Apple could roll out a cross-platform Safari in fairly short order, should the powers that be decide that it makes business sense.

How CEOs Think: 5 Mental Models to Shift from Founder to CEO
For sites without account creation, sure, you might be losing a ton of good content... but it won't matter. The spam, harassment, trolling, illegal content, and the pinning of responsibility on the platform owner will almost certainly get you shut down. The problem of how to scale moderation of human communication is unsolved. Until it gets solved, accounts--really, identity and authentication--are not really optional... at least not on any website I would choose to run.
> Edit: remember too that there is a TON of performance on the table on today's systems via more efficient slimmed down code. I think we will see the small/simple/efficient trend increase and bloat will be seen as much more embarrassing than it is today.

100% agree on that, but GEOS was terrible. I can't imagine anyone actually using it for anything useful.
At least in New York:

"A person is guilty of criminal mischief in the second degree when with
intent to damage property of another person, and having no right to do
so nor any reasonable ground to believe that he has such right, he
damages property of another person in an amount exceeding one thousand
five hundred dollars.

Criminal mischief in the second degree is a class D felony."

https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/145.10

Class D non-violent felonies are worth up to seven years in prison, likely varying widely depending on the circumstances.

I guess most states probably have similar statutes on the books. Whether you could get a prosecutor to charge it probably depends on the exact circumstances. I reckon you could find cases of people being charged on much less than $1M in intentional damage, though.

You really think it's because of activism and not because a lack of personal financial literacy is good for the oligarchs and more time spent teaching other subjects is also good for the oligarchs (employable skills)?
HN has already lost a lot of quality posters over the last 10 years. It’s a drop in the bucket as more and more new registrations happen anyway.

For the savvy reader: the best kind of astroturfing on a tech site involves nerdsniping. Make a small obvious error and you’ll get people trampling over each other to correct you. Never underestimate how smug stooges can pay off. Keep an eye out for these kinds of posts (see Twitter blue thread).

Valid and are random variables. Because models change their prediction over time too. Ensemble is better than one model, which is why the IPCC publishes ensemble results from different models.
My Facebook is on a separate e-mail because I first signed up during the period you had to have your high school network verify you. I had transferred into the school, so the first try through no one recognized me.
> Why would this time be any different?

Several reasons:

1. The "new" media has a lot more money, and therefore power.

2. Algorithms and realtime, granular targeting for brainwashing.

3. Truly immense and all-encompassing amounts of tracking data these companies control.

4. New media is relatively free of regulation, and they, thus far, have borne no responsibility for anything that's going on on their platforms, or any censorship / algorithmic boosting.

I could continue the list. But then again, you too could continue the list. We've been talking about this list on this site for years now.
Fastmail has been DDOSed several times in the past couple of weeks IIRC. It hasn't impacted my use of their service since I'm a low-volume customer, but I do feel badly for them.
I had one trip where I found peace with the idea of dying. Why keep struggling with life if you can leave it in harmony? Not sure if I would call this suicidal though.

But it changed my attitude towards dying. I think if I had a hopeless disease or was close to dying otherwise I wouldn't fight it but try to die in a peaceful and aware way.

> What do you do that is so virtuous that you can call Wikimedia a cancer?

That's a very caustic statement, and it's not your place to judge, but if you're inviting me to soapbox:

Personally, I give my charitable dollars to Against Malaria Foundation to buy insecticidal bed nets. They've raised $342 million in total since their founding and distributed ~137 million nets. GiveWell estimates the program costs about $3000-5000 per life saved; or to put it another way, they've saved roughly 68,000 lives.

The WHO estimates that 409,000 people died of malaria in 2019 alone; there's a lot left to do here.

WMF has raised more than double that (~$800 million), over a similar time frame. Of that, Wikipedia's current hosting expenses and compensation for authors and editors totals something like $2.5 million annually.

If you think that's a good use of your charity dollars, great. We can agree to disagree. If you have any spare capacity, though, I would highly encourage giving to Against Malaria Foundation, or any of GiveWell's other top charities.
Yes, exactly. There are differences between confidentiality, privacy, and anonymity. It's a Venn diagram. Using effective crypto and self-hosted services gets you confidentiality of your data, but not necessarily anonymity if your hardware, accounts, and payments are tied to your name.
Excellent, I was hoping something as accessible as this would appear to play around with this type of model!

Those that dismiss this as nothing more than a few filters are missing the finer details of what it actually does. There is a lot of targeted tweaking, like removing double chins and other old age artefacts. There are small embellishments, like adding a twinkle to the eyes or lip gloss where none was present before. The direction of a gaze is fixed towards the camera. And of course, although it's more cartoon style than anime, the eyes do become bigger.

The quality of your results depends on how appropriate your input is. Try something that has the potential to be Disney and you will get great results.

Sure, you could (with enough practice) get similar results by manually editing a photo. But the beauty of this type of conversion is that it allows for near instant effortless experimentation and (after some other improvements) application to sequenced frames.

The active model does lean towards feminizing and westernizing the subject. Mustaches are removed and an Asian subject will receive wide open blue eyes every now and then.
If you check the airbnb hosts subreddit, there are endless stories of hosts being ghosted by support after a guest trashed the place.
That sounds extremely accurate, and not for the extremes either.

Newt Gingrich & Rush Limbaugh began the mantra of refusing to compromise on any position. They are anything but extreme and are really more the torch bearers. Rush was even awarded a Presidential medal of Freedom.

And sensitivity to issues of fairness is hardly an extreme position. That's probably the most mainstream belief associated with liberalism and just plain being a good human being.

What bias?
I could be mistaken, but I think it's aimed at domains where you want a reactive experience similar to what you might get if you build a complicated Excel spreadsheet.

In a spreadsheet you're basically building a DAG (assuming you're using it right) that automatically and efficiently recalculates the downstream nodes whenever you change any of the input nodes.

I think it's actually a pretty hard experience to recreate in many programming languages. I think in Python the thing that comes closest these days is Streamlit, but it can still be a lot slower to put together something than a really fast Excel jockey.

Suppose you had a HamiltonFrame that knew the graph that generated it and knew which columns were inputs and which were outputs. When you update any of the input values it could automatically recalculate any columns downstream of the modified inputs.

This project has similar motivations but explains itself a bit more I think. https://opensource.janestreet.com/incremental/

EDIT: Just realizing belatedly that since it was the author of Tributary* who mentioned it he can probably explain himself better than I can...

This tool is the culmination of many things in my interviewing experience.

1. I bought all of system design content; still don't know if I can produce high quality designs
2. I bought paid interviewing.io SD interview. After it ended, I realized I would've learned just as much by practicing in front of a mirror
3. I've been tasked with administering many technical phone screens at work and wished it was async
4. I wish I could prepare for interviews with other people without the scheduling tag game
5. I realized the interview is more of a performance where you show off how well you can think and talk at the same time.

The recorded video is not uploaded anywhere and there are probably a few bugs

off chance if people want to use this to prepare for their interviews together asynchronously, leave your e-mail here:

What's interesting to me is you could smoosh those descriptions together and apply the result to both extremes pretty accurately: "strident, [with] uncompromising views... highly sensitive to issues of fairness."
> A few students came to me asking if I had any ideas for a software project that they could work on outside of class.

> I explained an idea for a utility that I had been wanting: A desktop program that monitors my clipboard for URLs and logs them automatically.

I think this person misunderstood the students, the student wanted a project to practice programming, not a project to practice project management. The programming parts of this would take 2-4 hours, it isn't a terribly hard thing to code. All the project management parts would take days or weeks or even months or years depending on how polished you want it to be.

Giving them a project management project because in your mind project management is more important just to prove a point doesn't help them at all.

I'm talking about gross salaries, as you brought up the prevailing wage.

Post tax, I'd expect the US advantage to increase in raw monetary value, and the cost of living in Oklahoma City is probably very low for a sizable city, but of course the UK would offer superior benefits.
US and NZ timezones don't work well when collaboration's required.
I got a crash course in running proxy servers and various VPNs when I was in school, due to the school blocking stuff. I don't recall what sites I was even trying to get to (pre-facebook) nor do I remember really caring about them, but just working around the blocks was particularly fun.
"While AirCover protects you while you’re hosting an Airbnb stay or Experience, it is not a substitute for personal insurance"

This is a key point. As a host here in NZ, its basically useless as I still have to have commercial insurance. Aircover only covers you for the period of time that you have someone staying in your property. As soon as they have gone, you have no insurance. So if you have a house listed on Airbnb and someone breaks in and burns it down between bookings, you're not covered.

Weta & Peter Jackson explicitly went out of their way to get a law change to prevent people who were working in the industry from having the worker protections to which they were entitled.

Thus, they're not "contract employees" but "independent contractors"--which, without the law change, wouldn't have been legal in the same way "gig workers" failed to meet the criteria of "independent" in many places/cases (e.g. working for more than one client at a time, having control over work location etc).

This is also a felony, a friend of mine got destruction of government property for drawing on the walls of his cell while in county jail.
It also prevents kids from using their machine to learn how to write HTML. What an incredibly short-sighted change. If kids can see the answers to their quizzes in the source code, purchase better software that doesn't allow that.
Here in California (and, I would bet, all other states) it is felony vandalism. Definitely criminal.
I would have not chased a kid down the street and I definitely wouldn't have pointed a gun at him.

If I was in his situation at the end I wouldn't have lunged at Kyle after I put my hands up and he lowered his weapon.
I feel its simple to say "It's not that simple" whilst not trying to show an alternative.

Any solution is going to have downsides. For right or wrong, it doesn't seem realistic to make some solution where a wealthy upper echelons take all or even the majority of the weigh of a global problem.

Most of the world is low income, and you need to bring in the mass market for change. And there will be issues for sure but if you dont force change across the entire market little will change. Like do you expect we make a rule where people below $20k income to keep using petrol cars without any new cost but everyone else goes electric? Bad example? Maybe some proportional carbon/GHG tax system? Doing that at an individual level would be very difficult.

Id love to be wrong but I dont see a solution where we make global changes of any real significance and dont effect low income people, which is much of the world. Do you?
Luckily you can steal more than twice that at your local Best Buy in California and it's a misdemeanor. So take good care of your AirBnB but feel free to go to town at a Walgreen's. If you can find one.

Companies have to follow the 14th amendment, not sure why the biggest monopolies shouldn't follow the 1st. I'd rather just mute the crazies and have the illegal content banned.

And the government hearings and government speech is kinda important, even if you disagree with it, or find it wrong.

Kinda scary if big tech can ban the government, seems like they have too much power. Not in the favor of creating American oligarchs.

I'm about 30 and working on making this pivot. I'm worried I'll somehow box myself into some sort of dead-end boring programming. I don't know why but the thought keeps popping into my head. It seems like in order to be competitive enough for a programming job that isn't basically the same tier of drudgery as a dead-end corp position will require me to spend all of my free time programming.

I love being immersed in silent solitary work building stuff, but I love being around people and being relatable to them just as much.
oh my god yes, IAP on Apple and GPlay are atrociously painful to implement.
It's in the article:

> The goal isn't to fall into a feature rabbit hole, but rather to understand your assumptions about the project. If I don't do this exercise and I try to build it, then I will often run into two or three crux issues that I could have easily known about from the start. Don't go implement every feature idea you come up with from this exercise!
US government is run by the same people who run the tech companies: Jews.

Good luck.
I'm not sure I buy the premise for the library's existence, at least with how the author describes it. The setTimeout code in particular feels very contrived. If you don't want to spawn fire-and-forget functions then just don't spawn them. Like an equivalent in C#:

async Task DoSomethingAsync()
{
// Oh no! This task is fire-and-forget! Whatever shall I do?!?
Task.Run(async () => await DoSomethingElseAsync());
...
}

Just... don't write code like that. The natural function of Promises when awaited is to wait for the Promise to become fulfilled.

The "timed Promise" concept is interesting. In C#, we use CancellationToken for that along with some kind of timer that requests cancellation of the token after an interval. I think adding something like cancellation tokens to JavaScript might be a better course of action.
To point 3

A group will radicalise itself, even in isolation.

The approach of splitting the nation into 2 will work… for a while.

Also: I don’t have any better solution for the near or mid term.

Maybe education will help.
But I am immensely disappointed with this approach.
I seams to just not work.

Maybe small nations work way better.
As far I can see this is the case.
So maybe splitting up the nation into even smaller states would help.

As long as you have federal laws that grands children a life if they decide to go, this would be somewhat human?
Think on a gay child in a radical state that demands forced conversion therapy.
That’s basically the gig economy. Shifting all the hidden and one off costs to unsophisticated gig workers who are unable to factor those costs in.

Renewables are indeed vital. At the same time, it feels counterproductive that every discussion on nuclear or renewables ends up casting things as an either or proposition. Nuclear as baseload remains very useful. What's more, we don't just seek to replace current capacity but also to quickly increase generation.

While costs of transmission infrastructure required for country scale (larger distances for lower correlation) energy dispatch are recognized, its more abstract challenges are less well acknowledged. Dispatch at this level is not just about developments in grid integration or hardware like solid state "transformers", it also has a complex routing coordination aspect requiring research in control and even game theory [1].

A lack in wind and solar can sometimes occur simultaneously. Analysis of German wind turbines data observed that experiencing a stretch of almost a week with generation as low as 10% installed capacity was likely within a given year [2]. Surprising/extreme weather events like Europe's recent "wind drought" are rare but there remains a large amount of uncertainty in how changes in climate will affect the tail of this distribution. Tools such as coordinating distributed generation and improvements in storage tech will surely help smooth generation, nuclear is another powerful tool in that toolbox.

Ah yes, let me take all of this blog's word without anything better than just the name of the journal.

"The journal reported "

Wow, I didn't know journals themselves reported on stuff. Glad there's no reference wherever to the specific study. Moreso, all of Lancet's journals are public access, so they very well could have included a link to the study.

Ask HN: Can I believe in climate change, but not fear it?
Or when someone asks “Do you believe in climate change?” is it saying do you believe climate change is something we should fear?

When the science says the icebergs are going to; melt, there will be more hurricanes, coastal and island towns will be flooded and the areas become uninhabitable at least if not underwater entirely, I, not being a climate scientist, will gladly assent that it is possible and I would submit on the appeal to authority that it is true.

However, does assenting to that being true, mean I “believe in climate change” if I completely disagree with the popular, political, and corporate ideas of what to do about it?
